MAGGIE. How many trains have you missed?
LESLIE. [seriously.] Quite two, I should think. But I promise you it shan’t happen again.
Goes out.
CHARLEY and LILY enter.
LILY. [wiping her eyes.] So he’s gone. Poor man, I do hope he’ll get on all right.
CHARLEY. [easily and in a brighter tone.] He’ll be all right. He can stand a little roughing.
LILY. It was such a pity you couldn’t get the time to go and see him off, dear.
CHARLEY. Oh, that’s nothing.
LILY. I’ll have breakfast ready for you soon.
Goes out.
