[Cecilia is bathing, and Dodd has snuck in]
I trust your new quarters are more to your liking! Celia Burroughs:
[surprised, Cecilia hides her body]
General Dodd! [Recovers herself] Celia Burroughs:
I hardly think it proper for you to be alone in a woman's quarters! William Dodd:
Fortunately, madam, there lies a region in which I am well traveled. Celia Burroughs:
What is it you want? William Dodd:
Merely to ask after your comfort. Celia Burroughs:
To the best of my knowledge, sir, you were once an officer in the British army. William Dodd:
It was the East India Company in which I serve. But let's not split hairs over such trifling matters. Your point? Celia Burroughs:
My point, sir, is that if any vestige of gentlemanly conduct you absorbed while in British company remains, I would urge you to act upon it. William Dodd:
[grins]
Alas, madam, these past years I find I'm moved by impulses far more... corporeal. Celia Burroughs:
If I understood you were right the other evening, general, you made a gift of me to the rajah. William Dodd:
What of it? Celia Burroughs:
Nothing. I am merely imagining his disappointment to find that his gift had already been unwrapped! William Dodd:
[frowns in anger for a moment]
