I even said that some girls have a way of taking everything as if it was meant in that sort of way, and that I had only asked her to lunch to meet my wife. But, of course, I promised not to do it again. And now it will be rather awful at the rehearsals, because Mrs Mitchell, of course, told her back, and Miss Flummerfelt and I don't speak. 'Well, after all, it doesn't matter so very much.
And though, of course, we know you meant no harm, she's positively shocked. You really mustn't flirt with her, Mr Ottley. She doesn't like it. In fact, she asked me to speak to you about it." There was a nice position for me, Edith! Isn't Miss Flummerfelt a treacherous little beast? 'I thought you said she was so enormously tall.
But, of course, I felt I ought as a matter of decent civility to Mitchell, don't you know to ask her once. I suppose now that you won't like me going to the rehearsals any more? 'Oh, no! not at all, said Edith serenely. 'I see, on the contrary, that there is nothing at all to be alarmed at. What a nice girl Miss Flummerfelt must be! I like her handwriting.
I'm engaged tomorrow, besides which I never go out anywhere without my mother. 'Yours sincerely, 'Elsa Flummerfelt. Edith smiled. 'That's fortunate, she said. 'After all, you won't have the awkwardness of putting her off. What a good thing. 'I assure you, Edith, said Bruce, looking very uncomfortable, 'that I had forgotten which way it was.
They are very keen, too, on pleasing Miss Flummerfelt, and it seems Mitchell thought she would be particularly glad I was going to act with her instead of Luscombe, because, as I say, Luscombe put so little meaning into the words. It never would have got over the footlights. Old Mitchell will be too pleased to get me back to worry about a trifle like that. 'Well, that's all right.
That horrid Miss Flummerfelt how I do dislike that girl had been silly enough to go boasting to Mrs Mitchell of my invitation to lunch the other day. 'Boasting! said Edith. 'Yes, it was a shame, because of course I only asked her simply and solely as a way of returning some of the Mitchells' hospitality 'Then why did you mind their knowing? Edith inquired. 'I didn't mind their knowing.
How stupid you are, Edith. But I objected strongly to the tone in which Miss Flummerfelt had evidently spoken of it to the light in which she had represented the whole thing. Mrs Mitchell came up to me in her soft purring way what a horrid little woman she is! 'Why, you told me she was so sweet and charming! 'I didn't know her so well then.
I shall want you every evening for rehearsing. I mean to make a good piece of work of this. I think I shall rather surprise Miss Flummerfelt and Mitchell. 'Very well; but still I think you might write to your mother. Who is the very important business letter to? 'Why, it's to Clarkson. Jane's Sister 'I have made up my mind, Charles, never to go and see Hyacinth again! 'Indeed!
And then we rushed back, and went on rehearsing. How we work! 'And what were you going to do tomorrow? He hesitated. 'Oh, tomorrow? Well, now, after this promise to the governor, I shan't be able to get there till half-past four. I should have liked to get there by twelve. And it's very awkward indeed, because Miss Flummerfelt asked me to take her out to lunch, and I half promised.
She's a Miss Flummerfelt. Her father was German by birth. If she weren't a little bit inclined to be fat, she would be wonderfully handsome. I shall have a little scene with her in the third act, at least, not really a scene exactly, but I have to announce her.
