MRS. MOUNTCALM-VILLIERS I have my carriage. [To ELIZABETH.] Can
I give you a lift?

ELIZABETH Thank you. [To GEOFFREY.] We shall meet again.

GEOFFREY I feel sure of it.

[MRS. MOUNTCALM-VILLIERS and ELIZABETH go out.]

PHOEBE [To HAKE.] Are Miss Blake's things dry yet?

JANET They'll be quite all right, dear. Please don't trouble.
[She advances a timid hand to GEOFFREY.] Goodbye, Mr. Chilvers.

GEOFFREY [He takes it smiling.] Goodbye.

[She goes out; HAKE follows.]

PHOEBE Goodbye, old boy. [They shake hands.] Don't you let her
walk over you. Make her fight.

ANNYS [Laughing.] Don't you worry about that.

ST. HERBERT Would you care to look through McCaw v. Potts? [He
has the papers in his hand.]

GEOFFREY I'll ask you for it when I want it.

PHOEBE [At door.] You'll be alone this evening?
