Thank you, Cis darling.
CIS.
If you'll excuse me, I'll go to my room. I've another bad headache coming on.
AGATHA POSKET.
[_Kissing him._] Run along, my boy.
CIS.
Good-night, ma. Good-night, Aunt Charlotte.
CHARLOTTE.
Good-night, Cis.
AGATHA POSKET.
[_To herself._] I wish the cab would come.
[_AGATHA POSKET and CHARLOTTE look out of the window._
CIS.
[_At the door._] Ahem! Good-night, Guv.
MR. POSKET.
You've told a story--two, sir! You said you were going up to your room.
CIS.
So I am--to dress.
MR. POSKET.
You said you had a bad headache coming on.
CIS.
So I have, Guv. I always get a bad headache at the Hotel des Princes.
[_Goes out._
MR. POSKET.
Oh, what a boy!
AGATHA POSKET.
[_To herself._] When will that cab come?
MR. POSKET.
Ahem! My pet, the idea has struck me that, as you are going out, it would not be a bad notion for me to pop into my club.
AGATHA POSKET.
The club! You were there last night.
MR. POSKET.
I know, my darling. Many men look in at their clubs every night.
AGATHA POSKET.
A nice example for Cis, truly! I particularly desire that you should remain at home to-night, aeneas.
MR. POSKET.
[_To himself._] Oh, dear me!
CHARLOTTE.
[_To AGATHA POSKET._] Why not let him go to the club, Agatha?
AGATHA POSKET.
He might meet Colonel Lukyn there.
CHARLOTTE.
If Colonel Lukyn is there we shan't find him in Cork Street!
AGATHA POSKET.
Then we follow him to the club.
CHARLOTTE.
Ladies never call at a club.
AGATHA POSKET.
Such things have been known.
_WYKE enters._
