[Abruptly.] Why should you be so anxious for him to go?
[She looks at him for an instant in dismay.]
Anne.
Good heavens, don't speak so sharply to me. I told Violet just now. I wanted him to be more get-at-able. I think he stands a much better chance of being noticed if he's in a place like Paris.
Arthur.
[With a smile.] Ah, yes, you said you were coming less frequently to Egypt than in the past. It might be worth while to keep Ronny here in order to tempt you back.
Anne.
Egypt isn't the same to me that it was.
Arthur.
I hope my marriage has made no difference to our friendship, Anne. You know how deeply I value it.
