Carve. And when shall you come back?
Janet. You might come down to see me one day at Putney.
[88]Carve. I shall be delighted to. But before that, won't you come here?
Janet. (After a pause.) I'll try and come the day after to-morrow.
Carve. Why not to-morrow?
Janet. Well, a couple of days without me'll do you no harm. It's a mistake to be in a hurry when you've got all your life in front of you.
Carve. (After a pause.) Listen—have some tea before you go.
Janet. No. (Holds out her hand, smiling.) Good afternoon. Now do go to bed.
Carve. I haven't begun to thank you.
Janet. No—and I hope you won't begin.
