VERNON. Yes. He’s downstairs now.
FANNY. He won’t be going for a little while?
VERNON. Can’t till the ten o’clock train. Have you had breakfast?
FANNY. I—I’ve had something to eat. I’m sorry for what I did last night—although they did deserve it. [Laughs.] I suppose it’s a matter than can easily be put right again.
VERNON. You have no objection to their staying?
FANNY. Why should I?
VERNON. What do you mean?
FANNY. There’s only one hope of righting a mistake. And that is going back to the point from where one went wrong—and that was our marriage.
[A moment.]
VERNON. We haven’t given it a very long trial.
