MARY;                    Mama, I didn’t even know you had a sister. It’s quite a shock.
INA;                        I’m quite shocked as well, I assure you.
ANNE:                     You see, girls, I’m shocking! The black sheep of the family, the skeleton in the cupboard, the dark secret of the hidden room -
INA;                         Don’t play the fool, Annie.  My dear husband and I offered Anne here a home with us, but she  preferred to leave, find herself a husband  -
ANNE;                     Via London, Paris, Cairo, Vienna, Melbourne, Rio, and New York!
JANET;                    You’ve been everywhere! Did you find a husband, Aunt Anne?
ANNE:                     Several.  (sotto voce) And not all my own…
MARY;                    I don’t understand.  You’ve had more than one husband?
ANNE;                     Consecutively, I assure you
MARY;                    I’m so sorry, Aunt Anne.
ANNE;                     Sorry?  Oh, no, they’re not dead.
MARY;                    You mean you’re - you’ve been divorced?
ANNE;                     Certainly not!  I divorced them.
JANET;                   Aunt Anne, are you a — a fallen woman?
ANNE;     (cheerfully) M’hm!
JANET;    (Enthralled) Mama!
INA;                            Janet, go and see to the hot water. Now! Mary,  please take that cold tea away and bring some fresh.
