Miss P. You appear to have had an accident.

Pil. Accident!

Miss P. In completing your toilette.

Pil. Eh? Hum—yes. The razor slipped. My nervous system is slightly disorganized.

Miss P. The result of last night.

Pil. (startled) Last night? I—er—fail to understand you.

Miss P. I was referring to your indisposition.

Pil. Oh!—Ah!—exactly. (crosses to window)

Miss P. Are you going out?

Pil. I thought the fresh morning air might be beneficial.
