Arthur.
Darling, no one's been making a secret of it. I—I thought Anne would have told you.
Violet.
Oh, it doesn't matter at all, but Ronny has been in the habit of doing all sorts of things for me. It would have been convenient if I'd been told that a change was going to be made.
Arthur.
I'm very sorry. It was only arranged this morning. I received a telegram from the Foreign Office. I thought it would interest Anne, so I sent Ronny along to tell her.
Violet.
I hate to be treated like a child.
[There is a moment's embarrassment.]
Anne.
