Cedric. (Hastily and nervously.) I shall be down in two jiffs. (Aside to Charles.) See you don't let her go. (Exit into house.)
Flora. I guessed you'd be having your supper just about now. That's why I came down here.
Charles. (Pleased.) That's fine. Only I'm not having my supper. Cedric's eaten it all. He's been out here all night, and he's eaten it all—except this (showing bread).
Flora. My poor boy! But here's a couple of bananas. Have you ever tried banana sandwiches?
Charles. No. Are they any good?
Flora. Are they any good! Never had a banana sandwich! Shall I make you some?
Charles. I wish you would. (Silence, while she sets about sandwiches.)
Flora. Well, how long shall I have to wait?
Charles. Wait?
