[Aunt Letitia has repacked the trunk and locked it. She sees that Nathaniel and Jonathan are getting on famously.

LETITIA

I'll go to the house now and you can talk to Jonathan, Nathaniel.

Jonathan and Nathaniel look at each other for an embarrassed minute, then Jonathan takes refuge at his theatre.

NATHANIEL

May I see some of your plays?

JONATHAN

Do you really want to see them?

NATHANIEL
