LADY KITTY. If there was no train I suppose he had to go there.
C.-C. Great minds. I wonder what he has to write about! [_He goes to

ELIZABETH. [_Outside._] Yes.
C.-C. Here's a note for you.
[_There is silence. They wait for ELIZABETH to come. She enters._
ELIZABETH. It's lovely in the garden to-night.
