[They go out. Arthur watches them, smiling.]
Arthur.
What good people! It's really a treat to see them together.
Violet.
Mr. Appleby is very enthusiastic about you. He was telling me just now about his trip in Upper Egypt. He's tremendously impressed. He said I ought to be very proud of you.
Arthur.
I can't imagine any remark more calculated to make you dislike me.
[She gives him a long look and then glances away. When she speaks it is with embarrassment.]
Violet.
