Upon seeing Ruby Gregory nodding her head, Lady Gregory immediately picked up the European-style landline phone next to her and dialed the Burtons' home. In less than half a minute, the call was answered by the Burtons' servant. Lady Gregory spoke amiably, "I'd like to speak to Mrs. Burton."
After a short while, Lady Gregory spoke amicably: "Mrs. Burton... Yes, Ruby just got home, and I've asked for her opinion... Yes, yes, the engagement date, Ruby has chosen it... It'll be the 10th of next month. Do you want to ask Steve for his opinion?... Steve will listen to Ruby?... Alright, let's confirm it then... Yes, yes, the kids are busy with work, let's organize the engagement banquet for them... Alright, alright... we'll see each other another day... Goodbye."
