[Violet comes in. She wears an afternoon gown, picturesque and simple, yet elegant enough for the visit she has been paying. She has a large hat, which she presently removes.]

Anne.

I thought we'd wait till you came back. It'll come at once now.

Violet.

How are you, Christina? How is Henry? [They kiss one another.] I've not seen him for days.
