MR. KNOWLE. Ah, here we are. (ALICE puts down the whiskey.) You've told Peters?
ALICE. Yes, sir. He's looking after it now.
MR. KNOWLE. That's right, (ALICE goes out.) You'll have some whiskey, won't you?
GERVASE. Thanks very much.
(He comes to the table.)
MR. KNOWLE. And do take your coat off, won't you, and make yourself comfortable?
GERVASE. Er—thanks. I don't think—— (He smiles to himself and keeps his cloak on.)
MR. KNOWLE (busy with the drinks). Say when.
GERVASE. Thank you.
MR. KNOWLE. And soda?
