I’m content to wait.

Re-enter Servant, L., with tea service.

Parbury.

When you have had tea, you will go away to dress. You will return here to dinner at eight.

Gunning.

I think not.

Parbury.

One moment. You will probably meet only my wife’s father, Colonel Armitage, and your dinner will be a fairly plain one, but I promise that your palate will not be outraged.

Gunning.
