HE. That's so. You had better change.
SHE. And you?
HE. I'm rather wet myself.
SHE. Will you take me back to the hotel?
HE. The sun is very hot here.
SHE. (Instantly changing) Oh, would you rather stay?
HE. (Does not answer for a few seconds. Then, a little abruptly) Tell me: can you swim?
SHE. (Startled) Eh?
HE. Can you swim?
SHE. Lord Brookfield! Of course I can't!
