THE BOY
Yes; but I mean nobody else at all. We’re practically all alone, practically.
THE YOUNG WOMAN (laughing as she waves her hand to indicate the spacious corridors to the right and left)
Alone? Why, there are at least three hundred people in this hotel.
THE BOY
Yes, but they’re all either outdoors, or dancin’, or havin’ tea, right now. It’s practically the same as being alone. It is—practically, I mean.
THE YOUNG WOMAN
Yes, I’ve noticed that it was a rather secluded spot myself. (She glances about the room thoughtfully, then turns to him, smiling.) Don’t you want to run and dance with some of those pretty young girls your own age?
THE BOY (with pained earnestness)
