HARRY. Queer your anxiety to stop me, when you knew I would find the door locked.

MRS. OTERY. Sometimes it’s locked; sometimes not.

HARRY. Is it not you that locks it?

MRS. OTERY (reluctantly). It’s never locked, it’s held.

HARRY. Who holds it?

MRS. OTERY (in a little outburst). Quiet, man.

HARRY. You’re all shivering.

MRS. OTERY. I’m not.

HARRY (cunningly). I suppose you are just shivering because the room is so chilly.

MRS. OTERY (falling into the trap). That’s it.
