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.
