ZACK. Well! that's a oner.

PAUL. I'll just clear off my work as quickly as I can.

(Exit Paul.)

ZACK. That'll not take long. Busy!

MRS. MUNNING. Paul's busy if you're not. Hadn't you better go and help him?

ZACK. There's no wurk in to help him at. We've never been so slack.

MRS. MUNNING. It's there if you'll go and look for it, and stop making an exhibition of your laziness to your cousin.

ZACK. I haven't finished my tea.

MRS. MUNNING. Every one else has. It's not our fault you came in late. Will you write your letter here, Jenny? (Indicates bureau.)

VIRGINIA. I have notepaper upstairs, aunt.
