HUBERT: D'you think he's a thief or something? By Jove, I left my links
on the washstand before lunch! OLIVIA: He's acting ... every minute of the time. I know he is! But he's acting pretty well, because I don't know _how_ I know.... He's walking about here all day, and talking a little, and smiling, and smoking cigarettes.... Impenetrable ... that's what it is! What's going on--in his mind? What's he thinking of? (_Vehemently_ ) He _is_ thinking of something! All the time! What is it? _DAN enters from the front door and smiles broadly at them._ DAN: Anybody seen my lady's pills? It's a matter of life and death.... I thought _I_ had 'em. _HUBERT chuckles._ OLIVIA (_after a pause, in a level voice_): Oh, yes. They're in the top drawer of the desk. I'm so sorry. DAN: Thank you. _He salutes her, goes to the desk, and takes out the pills. They watch him._ MRS. BRAMSON (_off_) Danny! DAN: Oh, yes, here they are.... HUBERT (_to say something_): Is she feeling off colour again? |
