_She runs to each window and looks out across the forest._ MRS. TERENCE _returns carrying luggage: one large and one small suitcase_. DORA _follows, lugging an old-fashioned thick leather hat-box_. MRS. TERENCE _places the suitcases on the table_; DORA _plants the hat-box in the middle of the floor._ MRS. TERENCE (_in a conspiratorial tone_): This is all. HUBERT: But look here, we can't do this-- OLIVIA _snaps open the lid of the larger suitcase with a jerk. A pause. They look, almost afraid_. DORA _moves to the back of the table._ MRS. TERENCE (_as_ OLIVIA _lifts it gingerly_): A dirty shirt ... HUBERT: That's all right. OLIVIA: A clean pair of socks ... packet of razor-blades ... HUBERT: We shouldn't be doing this--I feel as if I were at school again-- MRS. TERENCE: Singlet ... OLIVIA: Half ticket to Shepperley Palais de Danse ... MRS. TERENCE: Oh, it's a proper 'aunt! |
