THE PRIME MINISTER
Margaret.
[At door, after watching this scene with obvious emotion.] Good night, sir!
Peggy.
[Giving her hand to Margaret.] Good night, papa!
See you in the morning.
[Margaret and Peggy go out by upper door, R. Sir Robert returns to desk.
Lady Dorothy.
Well, how does she strike you?
Sir Robert.
I like her. A little over-sensitive but with fine
depths of character, I should say. How does she
strike you?
Lady Dorothy.
I'm not sure
Sir Robert.
Not sure?
Lady Dorothy.
To tell you the truth, I can't help feeling the girl
has come into the house with a certain hostile feeling
against——
Sir Robert.
Against whom?
Lady Dorothy.
Well—against you.
Sir Robert.
What reason have you for thinking that, Dorothy?
