Frankie: He couldn’t come in; he’s going to call back for me.

Mr. Freeman: Your young man isn’t in.

Frankie: Isn’t he?

[Again the cry of the agonised ghost.

Frankie: Your gate’s in awfully good voice to-night.

Mr. Freeman (who has gone to the window): Wants oil.

Frankie (at a bowl of chocolates on the table): May I?

Mrs. Freeman: Of course, dear.

Frankie: Thank you.

Mr. Freeman (back from the window; aside to his wife): It’s John. Take her into the drawing-room.
