Uncle John sent word that he wanted to see me here at 7:30.
[Letitia and Nathaniel look at each other.
Jonathan takes out a large silver watch.
It's 7:29 now.
NATHANIEL

[John enters. He is rather pale, seems pre-occupied and even more unapproachable than ever.
LETITIA
Did you have a pleasant stroll?
