Merton. Now, my good woman, what do you want? It's rather late, you know, to consult a doctor.

[She looks at him].

Kirstin. I've not come to consult you, Mr Merton. [He looks at her bewildered]. Don't you know me again? [She smiles]. [He looks at her trying to remember]. Don't you remember me in Australia?

Merton. Australia! You are Kirstin—Kirstin Thwaite!

Kirstin. Yes, I'm Kirstin.

Merton. Kirstin!… [he holds out his hand] I'm—I'm—very glad to see you.

Kirstin. Do you remember you said 'Come to London, Kirstin.' You wrote it down, and where you lived.

Merton. Yes—I did.

Kirstin. And I never thought I'd come. But now I have. I can hardly believe it.

Merton. It is unbelievable.
