[BENHAM goes out.
(As soon as they are alone NANCY blows BROXOPP a kiss, and then pours out tea.)
NANCY. Well, how has everybody been getting on without me?
BROXOPP (tapping his chest). Me?
NANCY. You, and everybody. I suppose Sir Roger is still here?
BROXOPP. Oh yes.
NANCY. Well, all of you. Have you been very lonely without me?
BROXOPP. Very.
NANCY. The one letter I had from Iris seemed to say that you were all enjoying yourselves very much. What have you been doing? You didn’t tell me much about yourself.
BROXOPP. Oh, fishing, golf—all the usual things. Talking to Jack and his friends. (Grimly) They are wonderful talkers.
