Richard
I suppose it is.
Judith
You’ll get used to us in time, you know, and then you’ll feel cosier. Why don’t you sit down?
She sits on sofa.
Richard
I’m enjoying myself very much.
Judith
It’s very sweet of you to say so, but I don’t see how you can be.
Richard
Laughing suddenly.
But I am!
Judith
There now! that was quite a genuine laugh. We’re getting on. Are you in love with Sorel?
Richard
Surprised and embarrassed.
In love with Sorel?
Judith
Repentantly.
Now I’ve killed it—I’ve murdered the little tender feeling of comfort that was stealing over you, by sheer tactlessness! Will you teach me to be tactful?
Richard
Did you really think I was in love with Sorel?
