The speaker is Blanche, once again formulating an SOS for Shep Huntley, a married man that Blanche has no idea how to get in touch with. This attempt to make a show of communication is significant because Blanche is reading things into her sister's relationship with Stanley that aren't there. She wants to help someone who doesn't need help because she needs the help.
