MONTY

It seems safer. (Janet nods.) Sometimes I almost forget to keep it up. I’m such a duffer about things. But I’ve managed hitherto. And now, of course, it’s all right as I’ve been here three months. I may be supposed to know the beastly place by this time.

JANET

Beastly? You’re not very polite.

[Monty laughs shamefacedly.

MONTY

You got my note, didn’t you?
