"Who are we waiting for?" "Soup burnt?" "... Eight -"
"Only the tiniest party. - Us!"
"Darling! Divine!" "Ten minutes late -"
"And my digest -" "I'm ravenous!"
"Toomes?" - "Oh, he's new." "Looks crazed, I guess."
"Married - Again!" "Well; more or less!"
"Sir Nathan! Ai!" "I say! Toomes! Prout!"
"Where? Where?" "Our silks and fine array ..."
"She's mad." "I'm dying!" "Oh, Let me out!"
"My God! We've lost our way!" ...
And, pondering darkly, in the silent rooms,
He who misled them all - the butler, Toomes.
