ANNYS Yes. Come in to dinner.

PHOEBE All right. Goodbye.

ST. HERBERT Goodbye.

[GEOFFREY and ANNYS answer them. They go out, closing the door.
GEOFFREY is by the fire. ANNYS comes to him.]

ANNYS [She puts her arms round him.] You don't mind?

GEOFFREY [He holds her at arms' length--looking into her eyes and
smiling.] I believe you are looking forward to it.

ANNYS Do you know how long we have been married? Eight years.
And do you know, sir, that all that time we have never had a
difference? Don't you think it will be good for you?

GEOFFREY Do you know WHY we have never had a difference? Because
you have always had your own way.

ANNYS Oh!

GEOFFREY You have got so used to it, you don't notice it.

ANNYS Then it will be good for me. I must learn to suffer
opposition. [She laughs.]

GEOFFREY You won't like it.
