(Opening door, and recoiling.) Margaret! Mrs. Chalmers!
(Margaret enters, followed by Tommy and Linda. Margaret is in evening dress covered by evening cloak.)
Margaret
(Shaking hands with Knox.) Forgive me, but I had to see you. I could not get you on the telephone. I called and called, and the best I could do was to get the wrong number.
Knox
(Recovering from his astonishment.) Yes. I am glad.
(Seeing Tommy.) Hello, Tommy.
(Knox holds out his hand, and Tommy shakes it gravely. Linda stays in back-ground. Her face is troubled.)
Tommy
How do you do?
