Dinah (coming down C. to R.) Oh, do!
Pim. It's very kind of you, Mrs. Marden, but——-
Dinah. Oh, you simply must, Mr. Pim. You haven't told us half enough about yourself yet. I want to hear all about your early life.
Olivia. Dinah!
(Dinah sits at piano and plays thirty-two bars of "If you could only care.")
Pim. Oh, we are almost, I might say, old friends, Mrs. Marden.
(Brian comes down and kneels on settee R., listening to Dinah playing.)
Dinah. Of course we are. He knows Brian, too. There's more in Mr. Pim than you think. You will stay to lunch, won't you?
Pim. (sits on stool L.C.) It's very kind of you to ask me, Mrs. Marden, but I am lunching with the Trevors.
Olivia. Oh, well, you must come to lunch another day.
