JABEZ. As you say, there's no harm in asking. But understand it's between you and her. You're not to use my name.

CLAV. That's all I want.

JABEZ. I'll see you to-night, then?

CLAV. Yes.

JABEZ. Right. Good morning, doctor.

CLAV. Good morning, sir.

(Exit Clavering, l. Jabez rubs his hands together with a satisfied air. Lomax enters l. as Clavering goes out. He has a number of papers in his hand.)

LOMAX. Will you sign the announcements now, sir?

JABEZ (genially). I will that. (Commences to sign as Lomax hands them to him one by one.)

CURTAIN.
