Knox. [Taking out his watch.] D'you mind if I look at the time? I don't want to get to the station late.
Harry. Of course not. I say, won't you have a cigar? [He goes to his desk.] I have to keep them locked up. I think the boys find them very much to their taste. [He puts the key into the lock.] Hulloa, the drawer's open. I could have sworn I locked it. [He takes out a box of cigars and hands it to Knox.]
Knox. [Helping himself.] Thanks very much.
Daisy. You know, you mustn't let me keep you if you want to be off.
Knox. I've got two or three minutes.
Harry. Oh, Daisy, before Harold goes I wish you'd show him that Manchu dress I bought you.
Daisy. I'll go and fetch it. [To the Amah.] Is it hanging up in the cupboard?
Amah. No, I have puttee in paper. I velly careful woman.
[They both go out.
Knox. I say, old man, I hope you don't think I'm an awful swine to rush off like this the moment I've swallowed my dinner.
