John: ... I’d rather you didn’t say anything about it till she’s gone, please.

[No answer. Toby comes in dressed again.

Toby: Show me down to the front door, please. (She crosses at once to the other door; John following.)

John (low to her): I can’t come with you at once.

Toby: I don’t want you to ... I don’t want you to come any more—ever.

John: Toby!

Gwen (by the open door into the bedroom): Frankie!

[She makes an enticing movement, and this time Frankie, more tractable, follows her into the bedroom.

Toby: I don’t want ever to see you again.

John: It’s been damnable for you ... you make me feel a brute.
