Act 2, Scene 3 Flashcards
Rose (To Wilding) I’m sure that cured you
You Hoo! (Offstage)
Wilding: They look as if they’ve brought the whole place!
We’re almost there, Mrs. Graves!
Mrs. Graves: Good God, You’ve been saying that for an hour.
And now it’s true! Thank you, Mr. Wilding!
Wilding: I should have gone along, ladies
Oh no, we made much progress on our own, Didn’t we, Mrs. Graves?!
Mrs. G: We march on rome tomorrow
We are in for a treat, everyone!
Mrs. G: Well, I make no promises, but I have at least procured the makings of a proper meal. Tonight I shall teach costanza how to prepare steak and kidney pie.
Rose, perhaps you’d help me with Costanza. There’s teaching to be done!
Wilding: Very well
Thank you for a grand time, Mrs. Graves! (Exit)
Mellersh: Well. (after discussion with wilding about lady caroline)
Hello, Mellersh.
Mrs. Wilton
Oh, Mellersh! Welcome!
Good Heavens, Charlotte!
Have you and Mr. Wilding Introduced yourselves?
Surely.
Are you alright, Mr. Wilding?
…I should go and check on the steak and kidney pie. Widows?!
I am so glad to see you, Mellersh.
Really? But you couldn’t meet me at the station?
Oh, but I had so much to do! And the time…well, San salvatore has a way of making one forget all about time.
Forget about time? Absurd.
It’s not absurd. You’ll see.
I would like to pay my respects to your hostess, Charlotte.
Hostess?
This “mrs. Arnott” who invited you here.
There is something I haven’t told you, Mellersh.
There appear to be many things you haven’t told me.
I…wasn’t invited here.
Not…? You named three ladies in your telegram.
Yes. The four of us are here.
And this Mr. Wilding.
I know it must seem confusing, Mellersh, and it should to you, and for that, I do apologize. But you see…it’s just that the four of us ladies, we…well…we have rented the castle.
Rented?
Yes. Together. Each of us is paying her own share.
