NICHOLAS. Absolutely sure.

LATIMER. That’s right. (Looking at his watch) Well, I don’t want to hurry you, but if you have any little things to do, the car will be here in half an hour, and——

EUSTASIA. Half an hour? Oh, I must fly. (She begins.)

NICHOLAS (not moving). Yes, we must fly.

LATIMER (going to the door with EUSTASIA). By the way, you will be interested to hear that I had two other visitors last night.

EUSTASIA (stopping excitedly). Mr. Latimer! You don’t mean another—couple?

LATIMER. Yes, another romantic couple.

EUSTASIA. Oh, if I could but see them before we go! Just for a moment! Just to reconcile them to this week of probation! To tell them what a wonderful week it can be!

LATIMER. You shall. I promise you that you shall.

EUSTASIA. Oh, thank you, dear Mr. Latimer!
