PAUL. Go back and get your business done.
(Enter Virginia from the house. She has a small parcel. There is a conflict of wills at the street door. Then Zack steps into the room again. Paul closes the door. Virginia notices the flowers. She goes towards Paul, smiling.)
PAUL. Oh! You've—you've caught me this time.
VIRGINIA. But you needn't look ashamed, Paul.
PAUL. I didn't know I did. I'll—I'll take them away now.
VIRGINIA. That's very sweet of you.
(Zack watches agape. Paul goes out with the roses.)
VIRGINIA. Now, Zack, I don't think you deserve it, but I brought your birthday present down, and here it is. A shaving-set.
ZACK. I'm sorry, but I haven't got a coin to give you now for luck.
VIRGINIA. That doesn't matter now.
