Gwen: She’s staying the night ... she telephoned home.
John: Where is she?
Frankie (just outside): Here I am!
Gwen: It’s all right ... he’s all alone.
Frankie (her head in at the door): Can I come in?
[John gives a glance at the bedroom door which is shut ... and Frankie comes in.
John ... can I speak to you?
Gwen (tactful): I’ll be in my room.... I shan’t go to bed; I wish you’d give me a call later.
[She is gone.
