MARTIN (reproachfully). Oh, sir!

AUSTIN. Don't let me keep you from your place.

MARTIN. Aren't you coming?

AUSTIN. No. I shan't see much of this match, Martin.

MARTIN. When so much depends upon it!

AUSTIN. Yes. That's why.

MARTIN (consolingly). But you forget things when you watch the game.

AUSTIN (kindly). Go and forget them, Martin.

(Enter Florence, in outdoor spring costume, excitedly.)

FLORENCE. Father, aren't you coming? You've missed it all. We've scored a goal in the first five minutes.
