Violet.
D'you think me very stupid, Arthur?
Arthur.
Not at all, darling. Only a clever woman could achieve your beauty.
Violet.
Then doesn't it occur to you that if I've made such a point of Ronny's going it must be for some very good reason?
Arthur.
[With a quick look at her.] Don't you think we'd better leave that subject alone, darling?
Violet.
I'm afraid you'll think it silly and vain of me to say so, but I think you should know that—that Ronny's in love with me. That is why I want him to go.
