BROXOPP. And you?

NANCY. Just under fifty.

BROXOPP. M’m.... A hundred between us.

NANCY. I don’t feel that we’re a hundred, do you?

BROXOPP. No. Still, there it is. Will you mind very much?

NANCY. Mind what?

BROXOPP. Beginning again at fifty?

[71]NANCY (a little frightened now). Do you mean—working again?

BROXOPP. Yes. Looking for work again. Trying to earn a living again. Will you mind very much?

NANCY (coming close). N—no, dear.
