It's he!
LARRY enters. He is holding a great bunch of pink lilies and white narcissus. His face tells nothing. KEITH looks from him to the girl, who stands motionless. LARRY. Keith! So you've seen? KEITH. The thing can't stand. I'll stop it somehow. But you must give me time, Larry. LARRY. [Calmly] Still looking after your honour, KEITH! KEITH. [Grimly] Think my reasons what you like. WANDA. [Softly] Larry! [LARRY puts his arm round her.] LARRY. Sorry, old man. KEITH. This man can and shall get off. I want your solemn promise that you won't give yourself up, nor even go out till I've seen you again. LARRY. I give it. KEITH. [Looking from one to the other] By the memory of our mother, swear that. |
