Mrs. K. I shall look forward to it with the greatest pleasure. You see, you’ve got such a big house. I should have this room, if I were you. Bars across the windows, and so on.
Guy. But the stairs!
Mrs. K. A little wicket gate on the landing. They begin to prowl about quite early. I remember Katya eighteen years ago—always on her hands and knees!
Guy. She’s in the garden with Mariana.
Mrs. K. Yes, I saw her.... Well, then, that’s settled.
Guy. One can only do what one can.
Mrs. K. Yes, win her over, Guy: win her over.
