They ought to be here by half-past ten.
Boyce.
[Speaking into the receiver.] Put me on 78, will you?
Etchingham.
[Simultaneously.] Why the devil don’t they bring them in?
Bennett.
Don’t worry. I’ve told a waiter to bring them as soon as they arrive.
Boyce.
[At the telephone.] I say, is that you, Masters? Has Mr. Winter been there? Well, send Rogers. Here. No, here, confound you! The Palace. [Putting down the receiver.] No, nothing’s been seen of him since early this morning.
Etchingham.
