BOBBY (to GERVASE). Sandwich?
GERVASE. Thank you.
BOBBY (to MR. KNOWLE). Sandwich?
MR. KNOWLE. Thank you, Bobby. Fortunately nobody minds what I eat or drink.
BOBBY (to himself). Sandwich, Mr. Coote? Thank you. (He takes one.)
MRS. KNOWLE (to GERVASE). Being such an invalid, Mr. Mallory, it is a great comfort to me to have Melisande to look after the house.
GERVASE. I am sure it is.
MRS. KNOWLE. Of course, I can't expect to keep her for ever.
MELISANDE (coldly). More tea, Jane?
JANE. Thank you, dear.
