Carve. I see it.
Pascoe. Go and sit on it.
(Exeunt Pascoe and Horning, back, closing double door's.)
[18] (After walking about, Carve sits down on another chair. A bell rings twice. He pays no attention. Then enter Janet Cannot, L. Carve jumps up, but is inarticulate, though very favourably interested.)
Janet. (Smiling sympathetically.) I rang twice.
Carve. The bell must be out of order.
Janet. I couldn't be sure, but I don't think it's the bell that's out of order.
Carve. Oh! You think I'm out of order.
Janet. No. I was thinking that you'd only just come into the house—all you famous folk—and you hadn't quite got it straight yet—as it were. (Looking vaguely at room.)
Carve. All we famous folk?
