[54]BENHAM. Thank you, sir.
IRIS. Is Mr. Chillingham back yet?
BENHAM. Yes, madam. He will be down directly. Sir Roger is engaged in the morning-room, madam, with the financial papers, and will not require tea.
IRIS. Thank you.
BENHAM. Thank you, madam.
[He goes out.
IRIS. I wonder what Father’s up to now?
JACK (carelessly). Losing Dad’s money for him, I expect.
IRIS (seriously). Jack, you don’t really mean that?
JACK (laughing). Of course not, darling. What’s the matter with giving me some tea? We needn’t wait for Dad. (To NORAH and RONNY as they come in) Come along. You’re just in time.... Ah, now you look quite nice again, Ronny.
