(Left alone, OLIVIA brings out her curtains again, and gets calmly to work upon them.)
(DINAH and BRIAN come in by the windows.)
DINAH. Finished?
OLIVIA. Oh no, I've got all these rings to put on.
DINAH. I meant talking to George.
BRIAN. We walked about outside—
DINAH. Until we heard him not talking to you any more—
BRIAN. And we didn't kiss each other once.
DINAH. Brian was very George-like. He wouldn't even let me tickle the back of his neck. (She goes up suddenly to OLIVIA and kneels by her and kisses her) Darling, being George-like is a very nice thing to be—I mean a nice thing for other people to be—I mean—oh, you know what I mean. But say that he's going to be decent about it.
OLIVIA. Of course he is, Dinah.
