Faith. She said she'll see—wait until to-night....

Bobbie. Oh, Faith darling....

Faith. Come out now, quick, or they'll miss us.

Bobbie (grumbling). It doesn't matter if they do.

Faith. Oh, yes, it does—I don't want to be talked about.

(They go out and bang into Daniel, who is coming in.)

Bobbie. Hallo, aren't you going to tell us things?

Daniel (comes C.). No, not now—I must unpack—I'm feeling rather tired—I have to change—I must send a wire.... The truth of the matter is, I just want a little peace.

Bobbie. All right, we'll leave you to it.

(Exit Bobbie and Faith. Daniel comes slowly down stage—lights a cigar and settles himself in Chesterfield.)
(Re-enter Sylvia, quickly touches Daniel on face—he jumps.)
