VIRGINIA. Yes. (She isn't interested, and puts the photograph on the table.) I was just going upstairs to write. It will be quieter in my room.
MRS. MUNNING. Has Zack been talking to you?
ZACK. I did a bit.
MRS. MUNNING. Oh, then I'm not surprised you want some quiet for a change.
VIRGINIA. I thought I'd not be interrupted there. I won't be long. (Going.)
MRS. MUNNING. You're forgetting the photograph.
VIRGINIA. I'm sorry, aunt. I was thinking of the other things I had to say to mother. (She glances at Zack and goes out.)
MRS. MUNNING (reflectively, looking after her). I'd give something to know what she's saying about our Paul in that letter. (She turns.) Why isn't the table cleared? Couldn't you stir yourself to ring the bell for Sally?
ZACK. I didn't know I ought. A servant girl's a novelty to me.
MRS. MUNNING. You didn't let that out to Jenny?
