BELINDA. Please do. It likes being looked at. (_With the faintest

TREMAYNE. Thank you very much. (_Turns to go up c_.) Er----(_He

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.
