Jack

Well, what?

Mary

Haven’t you anything to say about my costume?

Jack

Oh ... it’s nice ... very nice....

Mary

What enthusiasm!

[The dialogue that follows goes on while Jack is preparing his make-up. He moves about occasionally, going from his dressing table to the wash-basin, to the clothes closet. This movement and this general business of his hands give an air of casualness to the rendition of lines which are anything but casual in their meaning to Jack and to Mary.]
