EDGAR. Bless you! I don’t want him in the business. It suits me well enough. Hullo! He’s coming.
[Enter ADA and LEONARD.] [LEONARD is rather younger than EDGAR; a handsome young man with an air of detachment. His manners are rather pleasantly impudent and now disguise some harassment. He is rather carefully dressed in what appears to be a careless way.]
LEONARD. I’m wanted? Very much honoured I’m sure. My dear Sheila, I kiss your hands.
SHEILA. You may shake one if you like.
[He tries to kiss it and she snatches it away.]
LEONARD. What a pity.
SHEILA. Don’t be so stupid.
LEONARD. You keep disappointing me. We should have done it very well.
ADA. Don’t be absurd, Leonard.
