The Uncle. She knows there is an invalid.
The Grandfather. I hear nothing now.
The Uncle. She will come up directly; they will tell her we are here.
The Father. I am glad she has come.
The Uncle. I was sure she would come this evening.
The Grandfather. She is a very long time coming up.
The Uncle. It must be she.
The Father. We are not expecting any other visitors.
The Grandfather. I cannot hear any noise in the basement.
The Father. I will call the servant. We shall know how things stand. [He pulls a bell-rope.]
