TREMAYNE. If you won't mind my going on this way, I shall see some more on my way out. BELINDA. Please do. It likes being looked at. (_With the faintest suggestion of demureness_.) All pretty things do. TREMAYNE. Thank you very much. (_Turns to go up c_.) Er----(_He hesitates_.) BELINDA (_helpfully_). Yes? TREMAYNE. I wonder if you'd mind very much if I called one day to thank you formally for the lesson you gave me in pronunciation? BELINDA (_gravely_). Yes. I almost think you ought to. I think it's the correct thing to do. TREMAYNE (_contentedly_). Thank you very much, Mrs. Tremayne. BELINDA. You'll come in quite formally (_pointing to_ R. _with her sunshade_) by the front-door next time, won't you, because-- because that seems the only chance of my getting to know your name. TREMAYNE. Oh, I beg your pardon. My name is--er--er--Robinson. (_She is highly amused and looks round towards the house, recalling to her mind_ DELIA.) BELINDA (_laughing_). How very odd! |
