TENNANT. I have only just started to think about it. Directly the idea came into my head, off I had to go.
CHARLEY, who has stood listening, turns slowly and walks away.
MAGGIE. You are lucky to have found it out in time.
TENNANT. In time?
MAGGIE. Before you got too old to do anything.

TENNANT. That’s Leslie coming over. I’ll go. [goes.]
