FANNY. Tell her. Tell her [_she draws herself up_] I’m Lady Bantock, of
Bantock Hall, Rutlandshire. It will make her so mad. [_Laughs_.]
NEWTE [_laughs_]. I will.
FANNY. Give them all my love. [_Ernest appears in answer to her bell_.]
Oh, Ernest, tell Bennet—[_the eyes and mouth of Ernest open_]—to see that
Mr. Newte has some refreshment before he leaves. A glass of champagne
and—and some caviare. Don’t forget. [_Ernest goes out_.] Good-bye.
You’ll come again?
NEWTE. Whenever you want me—and remember—the watchword is “Tact”!
FANNY. Yes, I’ve got the _word_ all right. [_Laughs_.] Don’t forget to
give my love to the girls.
