Gwen: They’ve gone.

[Frankie comes back; she is blazing.

Frankie: Oh, I am angry. It makes you wonder whether there are any decent men in the world. I didn’t know John was a cad.... (In a burst of rage) Oh, the beast! the beast! Oh, it makes me furious.... While that—girl was waiting up here for him he wanted to kiss me.

Gwen: Did he?

Frankie: Yes.

Gwen: But did he?

Frankie: What?

Gwen: Kiss you.

Frankie: No, he didn’t.

Gwen: Why not?
