Janet. All?

Carve. Yes.

Janet. But will they?

Carve. Certainly.

Janet. (Into telephone.) Please will you send up all the daily papers at once.

[59]Carve. Thanks very much. Now you can hang it up again.

Janet. So this is the Grand Babylon Hotel? Well it's a queer place. (Her eyes rove round the room.)

Carve. What are you looking for?

Janet. To speak plainly, I was looking for the bed. I must say I was rather surprised when the young man at the desk said I was to go up to your room.... But really, every thing's so nicely arranged.... I suppose it's one of those folding beds that turn into bookcases and things?

Carve. (Laughs.) No. This is my sitting-room.
