Tremayne Is he in love with you too?

Belinda. Too? Oh, you mean Mr. Baxter?

Tremayne (rising and moving to fireplace). Confound it, that's three!

Belinda (innocently). Three? (She looks up at him and down again.)

Tremayne. Who is Mr. Baxter?

Belinda. Oh, haven't you met him? He's always coming here.

Tremayne (turning away and looking into fireplace). Who is Mr. Baxter?

(Baxter appears at cupboard doorway. Belinda hears him and gives a startled look round. She signs to him to go back. Baxter retreats immediately and closes door.)

Belinda. Oh, he's a sort of statistician. Isn't that a horrid word to say? So stishany.

Tremayne. What does he make statistics about?
