DAN: I'm passing Shepperley post office on the bike before post time to-morrow morning. With pleasure!
MRS. BRAMSON: Have you got to go back?
DAN: Now? Well, no, not really … I've finished on duty now I done that errand, and this is my half day.
MRS. BRAMSON (imperiously): Stay to lunch.
DAN (apparently taken aback, after a look at OLIVIA): Well—I don't like to impose myself—
MRS. BRAMSON: In the kitchen, of course.
DAN: Oh, I know—
MRS. BRAMSON: There's plenty of food! Stay to lunch!
DAN: Well—I don't know … all right, so long as you let me help a bit this morning … Don't you want some string for this? Where's it kep'?
MRS. BRAMSON: That woman knows. In the kitchen somewhere.
