Farncombe.

Drawing back and facing her, firmly. Yes.

Jimmie.

Walking away, in a flutter. Oh! Oh! Oh!

I’ve no objection to do that for you. Hurry up! He sits at the writing-table and searches for writing materials. In the drawer. He opens a drawer and takes out a sheet of note-paper. Standing at the other side of the table, she selects a pen and hands it to him. A “J” suit you?

Farncombe.
