MRS. WARREN. (_Quickly_) Do have another cup of tea, Mrs. Romney. It is
so soothing.
MRS. ROMNEY. Oh, thank you. Just a little sugar, please, and no cream.
MRS. WARREN. (_Giving her the tea_) There, my dear.
MRS. ROMNEY. Lovely color, isn't it?
MRS. WARREN. Yes, isn't it? Mr. Warren, dear man, once told me that the
natives of India use tea for dyeing.
MRS. ROMNEY. Hair?
MRS. WARREN. No ... no ... cloth, I believe, cloth.
MRS. ROMNEY. Oh, how interesting!
MRS. WARREN. I believe they use the henna berry for dyeing hair in the
East. I am told it gives a beautiful soft auburn shade.
MRS. ROMNEY. How interesting. Does one procure it from one's pharmacist?
MRS. WARREN. Eh? Oh, yes, I believe so.
