LAURA. William, who are you living with?
WILLIAM. With myself, my dear.
LAURA. Anyone else?
WILLIAM. Off and on I have friends staying.
LAURA. Are you living with Isabel?
WILLIAM. She comes in occasionally to see how I'm getting on.
LAURA. And how are you 'getting on'—without me?
WILLIAM. Oh, I manage—somehow.
LAURA. Are you living a proper life, William?
WILLIAM. Well, I'm here, my dear; what more do you want to know?
