COLONEL, obstinately, ‘She was there, too.’
BILLY. ‘Any one else?’
COLONEL. ‘There was that soldier.’
BARBARA. ‘A soldier also!’
COLONEL. ‘Just those three.’
BILLY. ‘But that makes four. Granny and Barbara and a nurse and a soldier.’
COLONEL. ‘They were all there; but there were only three.’
BILLY. ‘Odd.’
BARBARA, soothingly, ‘Never mind, dear. Granny will make it all right. She is the one for you.’
COLONEL. ‘She is the one for me.’
