Dealing with today's scene in it's entirety as it appears in the script:
96 INT: FOYER - NIGHT 96
The CLOCK IS STRIKING NINE O'CLOCK. The foyer is lit with candles. Mrs. Johnson, dressed in eighteenth century costume, has just let in MRS. PETTIBONE, an aged lady who looks quite at home in her costume. Roger, dressed as JOSHUA COLLINS, is smiling down at her. During the following dialogue and Roger's ad- libbing, Roger will lead Mrs. Pettibone to the main body of the party which has overflowed from the drawing room into the organ room into the card room.

And that when today's quote -
Page 36/Scene 96 - Mrs. Pettibone: 'Believe me, Roger, only a party at Collinwood would have made me leave my house tonight. All those dreadful attacks.'
- comes up.
End of scene as scripted - though certainly not the end of the sequence.
And when it comes to the adlibbing and the differences in the directions and descriptions in this scene in the film, there's a lot more than the script indicates. So much so that it's getting too late for me to get into all of it tonight, so it'll wait until tomorrow...
