Excerpt from Quinneys': A Comedy in Four Acts Posy enters R. She wears a white pinafore over a smart tailor - made coat and skirt. She is about nineteen, a pretty, graceful girl, very intelligent and quick-witted. In speech she is inclined to be slangy, but she speaks with an accent which indicates a first-class education. She carries in her hands a small bowl holding polish, and a soft duster. She places the bowl and duster upon the desk, and looks round. From the bosom of her blouse she takes a letter.

She extracts the key from the lock, and with a smile pops it into the mirror-black bottle. Having accomplished all this to her entire satisfaction, she laughs softly. Once more she approaches the door and listens. Hearing nothing, she runs to the speaking-tube and whistles down it.
