THE YOUNG MAN (moving a chair close to hers and sitting)
And so we’re alone! (He speaks with a sentimental hushedness.) All alone!
JESSIE
All alone, Rupert! This is the only place in the hotel where you can be by yourself a while. That’s why I said to meet here.
RUPERT (nervously)
You don’t think your mother’ll be back for a while?
JESSIE
No; she won’t.
RUPERT
She hasn’t found out I’ve come, has she?
