Evangeline. Oh, just a little talk!
Daniel. I have some letters to write. Also I'm tired and I feel my illness coming on again. Also I must wash before tea. Also——
Evangeline (laughing). It's quite obvious that you don't want to, so I'll leave you alone. Cheerio for the present.
Daniel. They all say that. Cheerio! I'm sure it portends something....
(He goes off upstairs.)
(Enter Joyce from garden dragging Faith after her.)
Joyce. Now you've just got to tell the others that.
Faith (flustered). But I promised Bobbie I wouldn't say a word....
Joyce. Well, you've broken your word once, so you can do it again. Vangy! Vangy! (She goes to window, still dragging Faith.) Sylvia! Oliver! Bobbie!
Evangeline. What on earth is the matter?
Joyce. Faith will tell you when the others come. (Dragging Faith back to C.)
