ACT III

SCENE I

Parlour in Janet's house in Putney. A perfectly ordinary suburban interior of a small house; but comfortable. Table in centre. Door, R., up stage, leading to hall. Door, L., down stage, leading to kitchen and back premises.

Time.—Morning in early autumn. Rather more than two years have elapsed.

Discovered—Carve reading newspaper at breakfast-table. Janet in an apron is hovering busily near him.
