Sir G. Humph. Exit Uncle George.
(arranges papers on desk)
Rose. How late you are! We’ve been expecting you all the afternoon.
Philip. (taking her aside, R.) You didn’t say that you were coming here!
Rose. No! didn’t I tell you I would give you a surprise?
Philip. When?
Rose. In my letter. Haven’t you received it?
Philip. Yes, but I haven’t had time to open it. (produces it—breaks the seal—and replaces it in his pocket, unnoticed by Sir George) And when I told you of my invitation here, you didn’t tell me that you knew Sir George.
Rose. Because I wanted to surprise you, dear.
