Mrs. Lattin
Half-past five, you said? My husband expected to be back before this. Hasn’t he come? The appointment was for half-past two.
Nurse
The Foreign Office takes its time. Mr. Lattin will come to you the moment he gets in.
Mrs. Lattin
You’re sure? I thought I heard his step.
Nurse
I’ll go and see the moment the lamp is lit. But he never forgets. He always comes in here first.
Mrs. Lattin
