Dean.

Bring him here when he comes.

John.

Very good, sir.

(John goes into the house. The Dean daintily skins a peach, humming gently, “Every morn I bring thee violets.” After a moment Clare enters from the left, a bunch of pink and white may in her hand. She is obviously in a shocking temper.)

Clare.

Good morning, father.

Dean.

Good morning, Clare. May! Is it for me?
