Anne.
You used to come and see me very often. You knew I was discreet and you used to talk over with me all sorts of matters which occupied you. I was pleased and flattered. Of course I realised that those pleasant conversations of ours must stop when you married. I only came here this winter to collect my goods and chattels.
Arthur.
You make me feel vaguely guilty towards you.
Anne.
Of course you're nothing of the sort. But I don't want Violet to feel that I am making any attempt to—to monopolise you. She's been charming to me. The more I know her the more delightful I find her.
Arthur.
It's very nice of you to say so.
Anne.
You know I've always had a great admiration for you. I'm so glad to see you married to a girl who's not unworthy of you.
