Toby: Why?

John: I’m worried to-night—it’s good to be near you. (He is sincere.)

Toby: Is it?

John: Yes.

Toby: Then I’m glad I came.

John (getting happier): Also ... if you hadn’t come, I shouldn’t be able to give you something I’ve got for you.

Toby: A present?

John: Yes. Only I can’t give it to you now ’cos you’re cross.

Toby: Oh yes, you can.

John: No!
