HESTER
Come in, Mr. Brown. I’ll tell mother you’re here. I expect she’s upstairs with father (going towards door).
BROWN
Don’t disturb Mrs. De Mullin, please. I didn’t mean to come in.
HESTER
You’ll sit down now you are here?
BROWN
Thank you (does so awkwardly). I’m so glad to hear Mr. De Mullin is better. The Vicar will be glad too.
HESTER
Yes. Dr. Rolt thinks he will do all right now.
