Do you suppose anyone is likely to come this way?

SHE

No.

HE (speculatively)

Your husband is probably still in the portrait gallery....

SHE

My husband! (Drawing away) What do you mean? (Thoroughly awake now) You didn't think—? (She jumps up and laughs convulsively) He thought poor old Tubby was my husband!!

HE

(staring up at her bewildered) Why, isn't he your husband?
