I thought you'd made all arrangements for sending him away.

Arthur.

I made no arrangements at all. I received a telegram from the F.O. saying that he'd been appointed to Paris.

Anne.

[After a very short pause.] Don't you think you'd better leave it at that?

Arthur.

No, I don't. I'm going to wire to London explaining the circumstances and suggesting that I think him very suitable for the post that's just offered itself.

Anne.

[Trying to take it lightly.] I feel rather aggrieved, after all the efforts I've made to get him appointed to Paris.

Christina.
