Trebell. Sit down. [She sits by the table. He sits by her and says with the air of a certain buyer at a market.] You're very pretty.

Amy O'Connell. Praise is the greatest of luxuries, isn't it, Henry? ... Henry ... [she caresses the name.]
Trebell. Quite right ... Henry.
Amy O'Connell. Henry ... Trebell.

Amy O'Connell. I'll go to bed.
