Krakau. Thanks. [Takes the photograph]. Can I borrow the paper, too?
Helms. Sure, take it with you.... And lend me your chess men, will you?
Krakau [with animation]. I'll get it for you. [Goes to his own chiffonier for it.]
Helms. We might as well move the tables together. It's more comfortable that way.
Krakau. Certainly. [Comes down with the chessboard and helps move the tables.]
Helms. Now you take my arm chair and read your paper. I'll play over here.
Krakau. I wouldn't think of taking your chair.
Helms. You do as you are told. [Sits on an ordinary chair.] I can reach better from one of these anyway.
Krakau. Oh, well. [Sits in the arm chair and unfolds the newspaper. There is a pause.]
Helms. Why don't you light your pipe?
