Warden. Thank you.

Miss Godesby. [To Ned with a forced gaiety.] Good-by!

Warden. [Again shaking her hand] Good-by.

[He looks his thanks at her.

Godesby. Well? What did you do?

Miss Godesby. [As they go.] Don't worry; I've taken care of myself for many years, and I still feel up to it!

[They go out Left and at the same time the Servant enters from the archway at back Centre carrying some fire logs in his arms. This Servant speaks with a slight French accent.

Warden Have you an empty sitting room?

Servant. Yes, sair.
