Suzanne. (Aside, indignantly) He’s taking her hand!
Roger. (Aside, indignantly) She lets him take her hand! It’s horrible!
Suzanne. Oh!
Roger. You’re trembling!
Suzanne. Why—— You’re trembling——
Roger. No, it’s you!—Can it be—? (Aside) We’ll see! (To Suzanne) Are you afraid?
Suzanne. (Aside, indignantly, as she rises) “You!”[5]
Roger. (Aside, breathing heavily) Well, they haven’t got that far anyway?
(Suzanne comes back, resolutely, and re-seats herself near him in silence.)
