HUBERT: Er—(rising)—no, thank you….

DAN sits in HUBERT's chair.

I think I'll get off before it's dark. Good-bye, Mrs. Bramson. Good-bye,
Mr.—er——

DAN (grinning and saluting): Dan. Just Dan.

He opens the press-cutting ledger.

HUBERT (to OLIVIA): Good-bye.

OLIVIA (rises): Good-bye, Hubert. I'm sorry.

DAN raises his cup as if drinking a toast to MRS. BRAMSON. She follows suit.

HUBERT: Can't be helped…. It'll get dark early to-day, I think. Funny how the evenings draw in this time of year. Good night.

DAN: Good night.
