[A faint, peculiar whistle. ]

WANDA. [Springing up] Larry! Oh, thank God!

[She runs to the door, opens it, and goes out to bring him in.
KEITH stands waiting, facing the open doorway.]

[LARRY entering with WANDA just behind him.]

KEITH. [Grimly] So much for your promise not to go out!

LARRY. I've been waiting in for you all day. I couldn't stand it

KEITH. Exactly!

LARRY. Well, what's the sentence, brother? Transportation for life
and then to be fined forty pounds'?

KEITH. So you can joke, can you?

LARRY. Must.
