Renie. Good-night, Mr. Telfer. [Offering hand.
Harry. Good-night, I'm awfully sorry——
Renie. [With her weary smile.] Oh, it's only a headache. I can bear it. Thank you for your sympathy. [Wringing his hand in fervent gratitude.] Good-night, Mr. Barron.
Matt. Good-night. I hope we sha'n't have any more little tragedies, eh?
Renie. [Very fervently.] I hope not, oh, I hope not! [To Lucas very casually and distantly.] Good-night, Captain Wentworth.
Lucas. [Same tone.] Good-night, Mrs. Sturgess.
[Exit Renie. Peters is seen to join her in the hall. A little pause.
Lucas. Well, I'll be toddling back to the Red Lion. Good-night, Dolly. [Dolly looks at him, furious, turns away. Harry looks a little surprised.] Good-night, Harry.
Harry. Good-night, Lu. Seems a pity for you to turn out on a night like this. Dolly, can't we give him a shake-down——?
Dolly. No!
