NORWOOD. Where does he write from?
KATE. India.
NORWOOD. Oh, well!
KATE. He says I may expect him home almost as soon as I get the letter.
NORWOOD. Good Heavens!
KATE. Yes. . . .
NORWOOD (always hopeful). Perhaps he didn't catch the boat that he expected to. Wouldn't he have cabled from somewhere on the way?
KATE. You can't depend on cables nowadays. I don't know—What are we to do, Cyril?
NORWOOD. You know what I always wanted you to do. (He takes her hands) Come away with me.
KATE (doubtfully). And let Dennis come home and find—an empty house?
