LATIMER. How can I keep her here if she doesn’t want to stay?
LEONARD. Well, how do you keep anybody here?
LATIMER. Really, Leonard, I am surprised at you. By the charm of my old-world courtesy and hospitality, of course.
LEONARD. Oh! Well, I doubt if that keeps Eustasia.
LATIMER (shaking his head sadly). I am afraid that that is only too true. In fact, the more I think of it, the more I realise that there is only one thing which will keep this devoted wife from her afflicted and suffering husband.
LEONARD and NICHOLAS. What?
DOMINIC comes in.
LATIMER. His lordship and Mr. Nicholas are leaving at once. His lordship’s car will wait for them outside the gates. See that a bag is packed for them.
DOMINIC. Yes, sir.
LATIMER. And come back when you’ve seen about that.
