She considers for a moment.
lucy. Why have you been talking to me as if I were someone else?
trebell. [Startled.] Who else?
lucy. No one particular. But you've shaken a moral fist so to speak. I don't think I provoked it.
trebell. It's a bad parliamentary habit. I apologise.
She gets up to go.
lucy. Now I shan't keep you longer . . you're always busy. You've been so easy to talk to. Thank you very much.
trebell. Why . . I wonder?
lucy. I knew you would be or I shouldn't have come. You think Life's an important thing, don't you? That's priggish, isn't it? Good-bye. We're coming to dinner . . Aunt Julia and I. Miss Trebell arrived to ask us just as I left.
