John (cutting in): I’m going to take him upstairs. He’s been away and I’ve been away; we haven’t seen one another for months.
Mr. Freeman (rising): Well, I’m glad to have met you. I hope you’ll look in again one evening.
Colin (rising to shake hands): Thank you.
Mr. Freeman (going): See you again, John ... don’t forget Frankie’s here. Good night.
Colin: Good night.
[Mr. Freeman goes.
John (at once): Come upstairs.
Colin: I can’t stay. I want to borrow your score of the new ballet. At least Margaret does. I’m taking her to hear it.
John: It’s upstairs.
Colin: They’re doing it last. I needn’t go for a few minutes.
