Markham Hall
Sally retreats, defeated, and takes up a conventional servant stance beside the sideboard, watching to see if any of the guests needs anything. The other maid, Doris, has been standing there already. Sally whispers to her "A vicar, a cold fish, and a dashing officer --and none of them will give me the time o' day."<Brown>
Doris responds sharply, <Brown>"The master's dinner is no place for your games, Sally."
Sally answers, a bit more angrily, "Games, is it? What about that dirty fellow you've been sneaking about with? He's a far sight worse than any of this lot."
Realizing she has spoken so loudly the guests might overhear her, Sally suddenly falls silent.
The butler gives her a severe look, and Sir John glances at her as well.
