Roland signifying that he can't be annoyed with such little things, says grandiloquently:
He follows Lord Howe-Greene up the walk while Tom goes to the taxis and tells them to wait. Then he follows with bags.
33. RECEPTION HALL ROLAND'S HOUSE.
It is perfectly bare. Briggs is just coming down the stairs carrying the one chair that is left, he puts it down, looks around at the bare hall, shakes his head sadly, dusts off the one chair, then looks up quickly at hearing bell ring, goes over to the door.
34. FRONT OF ROLAND'S HOUSE.
Briggs opens the door and lets Roland and Lord Howe-Greene in followed by Tom with bags.
35. HALLWAY ROLAND'S HOUSE.
Roland and Lord Howe-Greene enter, followed by Tom and Briggs. Briggs is delighted to see the old Englishman but is terribly chagrined at the condition of the house. He takes Lord Howe-Greene's coat and hat, and Roland engages Lord Howe-Greene in talking, then motions to Tom to get the chair into the library. Tom sneaks the chair around behind Lord Howe-Greene and into the library.
36. LIBRARY.
