SCENE
Morning-room at the Manor House.
[
Gwendolen
and
Cecily
are
at the window, looking out into the garden.]
Gwendolen.
The fact that they did not follow us at once into
the house, as
any one else would have done, seems to me to
show that they have some
sense of shame left.
Cecily.
They have been eating muffins. That looks like repentance.
Gwendolen.
[After a pause.] They don’t seem to notice us at all. Couldn’t
you cough?
Cecily.
But I haven’t got a cough.
Gwendolen.
They’re looking at us. What effrontery!
Cecily.
They’re approaching. That’s very forward of them.
