lord john. Can you hear what I'm saying?

ann. Yes.

lord john. I apologise for having kissed you . . . almost unintentionally.

ann. Thank you. Mind the steps down.

lord john. I hope I'm sober, but the air . . .

ann. Shall we sit for a minute? There are several seats to sit on somewhere.

lord john. This is a very dark garden.

There is a slight pause.

ann. You've won your bet.
