V- Valentine Wannop


E- Edith Duchemin


 


 


C: Would you allow me to help you to...?


E: Oh, a little caviar. A peach! I'm afraid I... I'm afraid I must... You see, my husband..


Mac: I beg you, dear lady, do not concern yourself.


Mrs Wannop: I think this party's very badly arranged. Very bad management.


E: Or perhaps not. Sometimes you'd never know he was...


Mac: One understands. Only to spend a fleeting 1 hour in these perfect surroundings.  You know the lines, "As when the swallow gliding 2 from lofty 3 portal to lofty portal, out of the dark and into the light and out again into the dark"?


E: Oh, yes! Yes! It takes a poet!


C: I have a message for you, from Mr Waterhouse. I told him I did not know you and did not expect to see you. He didn't believe me.


V: If it's to invite me for a chat, I don't intend to place myself in the way of his condescension 4.


C: No, not that. He wants you to know that there are no charges against you.
