LEONARD. I didn’t lose it. It just happens to be lost.
ANNE. And you catch a cold!
LEONARD. I didn’t catch it. It caught me.
ANNE. The—the humiliation of it!... And what do you propose to do now?
LEONARD. As soon as my luggage turns up, and I am well enough to travel——
ANNE. Meanwhile you accept this man’s hospitality——
LEONARD. Under protest. (Helping himself from the dish.) I shall keep a careful account of everything that we have here——
ANNE. Well, that’s your third kidney; you’d better make a note of it.
LEONARD (with dignity). As it happens I was helping myself to a trifle more bacon.... As I say, I shall keep a careful account, and send him a cheque for our board and lodging as soon as we have left his roof.
ANNE. Oh!... I had some coffee and one slice of toast and a little marmalade. About a spoonful. And a cup of tea and two thin slices of bread and butter upstairs. Oh, and I’ve had two baths. They’re extra, aren’t they? A hot one last night and a cold [141]one this morning. I think that’s all. Except supper last night, and you wouldn’t let me finish that, so I expect there’ll be a reduction.... You want a note-book with one of those little pencils in it.
