AUNTIE. You're back early, dear.

VICAR. What can you expect? Not a soul there, of course!

AUNTIE. My poor William! I'm glad I thought to hurry up the breakfast.

VICAR. Thanks, dear. You are always thoughtful.

AUNTIE. William . . .

VICAR. What is it? Any more—worry?

AUNTIE. You needn't make it so.

VICAR.. Ah!
