Where is Robert?
Gordon.
Out with the men. He’ll be back by tea-time.
(Loveday stands a little back looking round and waiting. She is taller than Nora; a splendidly built, dark-haired and beautiful woman, with a clear skin, deep searching eyes, regular features. She walks like a Queen and has a deep-toned, but soft and thrilling voice. She is all in white.)
Nora.
This is my cousin, Loveday Lewisham, Gordon.
(Loveday smiles, comes forward and shakes hands with Gordon.)
You know I told you all about her, and how she broke down with war-work in England and is going to make her home with us for six months. You know.
Gordon.
I do know. (Smiles.) I wish you welcome, Miss Lewisham.
