Poor women! Nevertheless, pray be careful how you slight the manicure trade. Crazes die, you know--nails grow. (POLLITT: I think we have come to stay, my lord.) (Lightly.) Well, you're sailing pretty close to the wind, remember, you fellows. (POLLITT: My lord!) (Replacing his newspaper upon the table.) And if some day you should find yourselves in the police-court, alongside a poor old woman whose hand has been crossed with a threepenny-bit down an area-- The DUCHESS appears on the further side of the low cypress-hedge. She is dressed for dinner. The sky is now faintly rosy, and during the ensuing scene it deepens into a rich sunset.
