What is it? What the devil——? (Surprised.) Oh! it’s you, Pam. I didn’t know you were home. Haven’t you been to Folkestone?
PAMELA. Of course I have. Mother wasn’t well, so we came back yesterday.
JOHN. Yesterday? Oh! Oh! oh! (Strolls off R. to get his waistcoat and jacket. Heard off.) Did you sleep at a—at mother’s last night?
(PAMELA does not answer, but is apparently annoyed.)
(Re-enter JOHN buttoning waistcoat.)
I say, I suppose you slept at your mother’s last night.
PAMELA (grimly). Where did you sleep?
JOHN. Where did I sleep?
PAMELA. I’m asking you.
