Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce:

One-Round:
...Well, I didn't really study any place, Lady... I just sort of... picked it up.

Mrs. Louisa Wilberforce:
You know, I was so surprised when I heard what you were playing. It brought back something that, really, I'd completely forgotten all about: my 21st birthday party.

And everyone went home. And that was the end of my party, all that time ago, in Pangbourne.

[She leaves]

One-Round:
Who's she talkin' about? Old queen who?
