Poor Mr. Bulstead! He’d have liked that, I suppose? And what about your poor unhappy colonel? And all the other little subalterns?

MONTY

(obstinately)

Still, you ought to have written.

JANET

(quietly)

You never wrote.

MONTY

I couldn’t. You know that. You never would let me. That was why I couldn’t send that note to you to tell you I was going away. You said my letters would be noticed.

JANET
