_Avonia._
Stop it, Augustus! ain't I wet enough? [_To Rose._] Yes, it is latish,
but I so wanted to inform you--here--[_bringing Gadd forward_] allow me
to introduce --my husband.
_Rose._
Oh! no!
_Avonia._
[_Laughing merrily._] Yes, ha, ha, ha!
_Rose._
Sssh, sssh, sssh!
_Avonia._
I forgot. [_To Gadd._] Oh, darling Ferdy, you're positively soaked! [_To
Rose._] Do let him take his coat off, like Gussy----
_Gadd._
[_Jealously._] 'Vonia, not so much of the Gussy!
_Avonia._
There you are, flying out again I as if Mr. Colpoys wasn't an old
friend!
_Gadd._
