Lady Mary Talbot
Tell me, what are you playing at with Tom and Cousin Maud's famous maid?
Edith Pelham, Marchioness of Hexham
What do you mean?
Lady Mary Talbot
I heard you at dinner last night. What are you up to?
Edith Pelham, Marchioness of Hexham
You know she'll inherit the Brompton estate.
Lady Mary Talbot
Well, so Mama told me.
Edith Pelham, Marchioness of Hexham
Well, then, wouldn't you like Tom to have a proper establishment?
Lady Mary Talbot
Oh, you devious cat.
