I can promise you that in helping Henry you're not doing any harm to Ronald. Anne is very anxious that he should leave Egypt. Isn't that so?
Anne.
In a way. Henry is proposing to spend the rest of his official life in Egypt. An appointment like this is naturally more important to him than it would be to Ronny, who is by way of being a bird of passage.
Christina.
Exactly. Ronny has had his experience here. If he stayed longer it would only be waste of time. Anne naturally wants to have him near her. I daresay she's a little afraid of his getting into mischief here.
Anne.
I don't know about that, Christina.
Christina.
My dear, you know how susceptible he is. There's always the possibility that he'll fall in love with someone who isn't very desirable.
