"The insult lies in your silence. I suppose you overheard something."
"Yes," said her husband. "I was listening."
"Ah! that is so like you. What were you listening for?"
"I was listening more or less for what I heard."
"In fact, you suspected something of the sort?"
"Yes."
"And yet you did not warn me. Go away, Mr. Armine, and don't listen, please. Sit down, Hayes; I wish to talk to you. What a lovely night it is. Quite idyllic. By the way, I wish to know whether your suspicions are entirely confined to him."
"Absolutely and entirely."
"You are quite sure?"
"Quite."
