DENNIS. Then I shall light it. (To NORWOOD) That will make the room nice and warm for you by the time you've finished. (He goes to the door and says again) Five minutes.
(There is an awkward silence after he is gone. KATE waits for NORWOOD to say something, but NORWOOD doesn't know in the least what is expected of him.)
NORWOOD (looking anxiously at the door). What's the fellow's game, eh?
KATE. Game?
NORWOOD. Yes. What's he up to?
KATE. Is he up to anything?
NORWOOD. I don't like it. Why the devil did he choose to-day to come back? If he'd waited another week, we'd have been safely away together. What's his game, I wonder?
(He walks up and down, worrying it out.)
KATE. I don't think he's playing a game. He's just giving me my chance.
NORWOOD. What chance?
