AMY. ‘Mother, enough.’
ALICE. ‘What more do you remember?’
STEVE. ‘It is strange to me now that I didn’t understand your true meaning to-day when you said I was the only man you couldn’t flirt with; you meant that I aroused deeper feelings.’
ALICE. ‘How you know me.’
AMY. ‘Not the best of you, mother.’
ALICE. ‘No, not the best, Amy.’
STEVE. ‘I can say that I never thought of myself as possessing dangerous qualities. I thought I was utterly unattractive to women.’
ALICE. ‘You must have known about your eyes.’
STEVE, eagerly, ‘My eyes? On my soul I didn’t.’
Amy wonders if this can be true. Alice rises. She feels that she cannot control herself much longer.
