edward. No, thank you, sir.

mr. voysey. Then I shall be up about noon to-morrow.

edward. Good-night, Mother.

mrs. voysey places a plump kindly hand on his arm and looks up affectionately.

mrs. voysey. You look tired.

edward. No, I'm not.

mrs. voysey. What did you say?

edward. [too weary to repeat himself.] Nothing, Mother dear.

He kisses her cheek, while she kisses the air.

mr. voysey. Good-night, my boy.
