[158]NICHOLAS. I say, it has been rather jolly here the last three days, don’t you think?

ANNE. It has been rather nice.

NICHOLAS. We’ve sort of got so friendly.

ANNE. We have, haven’t we?

NICHOLAS. You’ve been awfully nice to me.

ANNE. You’ve been nice to me.

NICHOLAS. I should have gone, you know, if it hadn’t been for you.

ANNE. I don’t know what I should have done if you had gone.

NICHOLAS. You did ask me to stay, didn’t you?

ANNE. Yes, I couldn’t let you go.
