George. Yes.

Daisy. Will you do something for me?

George. If I can.

Daisy. Will you dine here to-night? Amah will get us a lovely little dinner.

George. Oh, my dear, I can't! I've got an official dinner that I can't possibly get out of.

Daisy. Oh, how rotten!

George. But I thought Harry was coming back this morning. He's been gone a week already.

Daisy. I had a letter saying he had to go on to Kalgan. But don't say anything about it. He told me I was to keep it a secret.

George. He must hate having to be away so much as he's been lately. The death of that man Gregson has upset things rather.

Daisy. [Smiling.] I wish I could thank Gregson for the good turn he did us by dying at the psychological moment.
