Nora, what do you say? Aren’t I fit to go?
Nora.
(Calmly.) Of course not, Gordon. I can’t think how you could have expected—
Gordon.
(Wildly.) Now I see why you never loved me! You’ve teased me often enough. I’ve made love like a man, but to you, to you I was never a man! I see it now. You all think me useless. You don’t look on me as a man!
(A tense pause, Loveday and Robert look rather awkwardly distressed.)
Nora.
(Somewhat cowed.) Don’t be silly.
Robert.
I say, old chap, don’t take it so hard.
