Act I

Sorel
I don’t want to really a bit⁠—only I’m trying to entertain you. It’s as easy as pie to talk in someone else’s house, like at the dance the other night, but here on my own ground I’m finding it difficult.
Richard
Puzzled.
I’m sorry.
Sorel
Oh, it isn’t your fault; honestly, it isn’t⁠—you’re awfully kind and responsive. What shall we do?
Richard
I’m quite happy talking⁠—to you.
Sorel
Can you play mah-jongg?
Richard
No, I’m afraid I can’t.
