JOHN. Ah, some of us don’t show it like he does.

His marriage was a mistake from the first. (To PAMELA.) Will you go into the dining-room now, and I’ll see Mrs. Tully here in the presence of her husband and explain everything.
PAMELA. If Mr. Tully will promise to remain in the room.
JOHN. Yes! Yes!
TULLY. No! No!
JOHN (threatening TULLY with spray). Yes—yes! (TULLY cowers into blanket.) (To PAMELA.) Now go along as quickly as you can. (Places spray table R.C.)
PAMELA (crossing to door L.). But understand I shall expect to hear Mr. Tully’s voice the whole time.
