NANCY. Oh, Jack, how nice to see you again, dear!

JACK (kissing her). How are you, darling? You look remarkably blooming. (Shaking hands with IRIS) How do you do, madam?

IRIS. How do you do, sir?

NANCY. Iris is just coming into my room. We won’t be long.

JACK. Right. Where’s Dad?

NANCY. He’ll be here in a moment.

JACK. Good man. (He opens the door for them. To IRIS) You haven’t broken the bad news yet?

IRIS. No.

NANCY. Jack! There’s nothing——?

IRIS (smiling). It’s all right, dear. It’s only a little discovery we’ve made.
