NANCY. Oh, but I enjoyed my walk, you know. The woods, Jim! You never saw anything like them just now.

BROXOPP. Oh, well, nothing matters now you’re here. (He kisses her.) Do you know Miss Norah Field, Nancy?

NANCY. I expect she was at the wedding, wasn’t she? Iris told me she wanted to ask her here. Is she nice?

[59]BROXOPP (kissing her again). She doesn’t approve of kissing.

NANCY (sitting down at the tea-table). Perhaps she’s never tried. (Enter BENHAM.) Tea! how nice! You must have it with me, Jim.

BROXOPP (firmly). I’m going to.

BENHAM. Is there anything more, madam?

NANCY. No, thank you. Are you quite well, Benham?

BENHAM. Yes, thank you, madam. Pretty well, considering.

NANCY. That’s right.
