SCENE
Lawn in front of the terrace at Hunstanton.
[SIR JOHN and LADY CAROLINE PONTEFRACT, MISS WORSLEY, on chairs under large yew tree.]
LADY CAROLINE
I believe this is the first English country house you have stayed at, Miss Worsley?
HESTER
Yes, Lady Caroline.
LADY CAROLINE
You have no country houses, I am told, in America?
HESTER
We have not many.
LADY CAROLINE
Have you any country? What we should call country?
HESTER
[Smiling.] We have the largest country in the world, Lady Caroline. They used to tell us at school that some of our states are as big as France and England put together.
LADY CAROLINE
Ah! you must find it very draughty, I should fancy. [To SIR JOHN.] John, you should have your muffler. What is the use of my always knitting mufflers for you if you won't wear them?
