[Leslie crouches down by Janet and puts her arms round her protectingly, as Dunstan Renshaw and Lord Dangars ascend the steps.]

Lord Dangars.

Dunstan Renshaw.

[They go into the villa.]

Leslie.

Janet! Do you know that this is the man to whom Irene Stonehay is engaged to be married?

Janet Preece.
