Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker compares the present company with a Noel Coward play, then proposes martinis as the appropriate finishing touch. The cultural reference makes the occasion sound theatrical and sophisticated. The practical suggestion about drinks keeps that comparison light, as though everyone could simply complete the scene.
