Ned. Yes.

Alma. And he wears it still! You are an amaranth, indeed. (about to open locket)

Ned. You’d better not.

Alma. Do let me see. I’ve quite forgotten what I looked like then. (opens it; kneels)

Ned. Just as you like.

Alma. How I have altered!

Ned. You look younger there.

Alma. And my hair’s different.

Ned. The fashion’s changed.

Alma. Yes, and the colour too. There! Shut it up. (rises)
