Act One Scene Two

Outside the great house, Mrs. Primsunday arrives to enquire about Sunday tea.
Mrs. Primsunday: Hollar! Hello! I know its not the done thing to shout. So many
apologies if anyone's around.
Lady Mishap: Pray, what's the racket? The Calm's quite disturbed.
Mrs. Primsunday: Not as disturbed as I will be if I don't get my cakes in order.
Lady Mishap: In order?
Mrs. Primsunday: The order for the cakes for Sunday tea, after church and the
meeting of the New Victorians, the main event you know.
Lady Mishap: The eating of cakes is always the major concern, you're quite correct.
Mrs. Primsunday: I knew I was right, I almost always am.
Lady Mishap: Almost?
Mrs. Primsunday: Well, always. I was pretending to be modest.
Lady Mishap: Oh, never pretend. In the end you might have to act out your real personality.
