Anna comes in from shop.
ANNA
Mother, the doctor's daughter is in the shop.
MRS. CRILLY
What does she want?
ANNA (imitating an accent) Send up a pound of butter, two pounds of sugar, and a pound of tea.
MRS. CRILLY
These people are paying nobody. But we can't refuse her.
I suppose we'll have to send them up. Be very distant with her, Anna.
ANNA
I've kept her waiting. Here's a letter, mother.
MRS. CRILLY (taking letter) When did it come, Anna?
ANNA
It's just handed in.
Anna goes out. Mrs. Crilly opens letter.
MRS. CRILLY It's from the bank. They want me to call. What does the bank manager want with me, I wonder?
