Dinah (triumphantly to Brian and standing above George). Did you notice that one? That wasn't just an ordinary affectionate kiss. That was a special "bless you my children" one. (To George.) Wasn't it?

Olivia. You do talk nonsense, darling.

Dinah (crossing quickly below and to R. of Brian). Well, I'm so happy now that Pim has relented about your first husband–(George catches Olivia's eye and smiles; she smiles back; but they are different smiles.)

George (the actor). Yes, yes, stupid fellow, Pim, what?

Brian. Yes. Absolute idiot, I think!

Dinah. And now that George has relented about–(with a significant look at Brian)–my first husband——

George. Here, you get on much too quickly. (Crossing below Olivia to Brian.) So you want to marry my Dinah, eh?

Brian (with a smile). Well, I do rather, sir.

George (to Brian). Well, you'd better have a talk with me about it–er–(with a sly look at Olivia)–Brian.

Brian. Thank you very much, sir.
