MRS. HOLROYD

Doesn't he look awful?

BLACKMORE

It's more mark than mar. It isn't much, really.

[He is busy taking off Holroyd's collar and tie, unfastening the waistcoat, the braces and the waist buttons of the trousers; he then proceeds to unlace the drunken man's boots.

MRS. HOLROYD (who has been watching closely)

I shall never get him upstairs.

BLACKMORE

He can sleep here, with a rug or something to cover him. You don't want him—upstairs?
