At present, I must say for her, she appears willing to be taught. (DR. FREEMANTLE: And you think it will last?) I think her ladyship appreciates the peculiarity of her position. I will tell the Miss Wetherells you are here. (DR. FREEMANTLE: Ah, thanks!) I fancy her ladyship will not herself be visible much before lunch time. I understand she woke this morning with a headache. (He goes out.) The Doctor reads a moment. Then the door of the dressing-room opens, and Fanny enters. Her dress is a wonderful contrast to her costume of last evening. It might be that of a poor and demure nursery governess. Her hair is dressed in keeping. She hardly seems the same woman. FANNY (seeing the Doctor, she pauses). Oh!
