David
You’ll pretend not to, but you’ll hear every word really.
Myra
Sarcastically.
You’re so inscrutable and quizzical—just what a feminine psychologist should be.
David
Yes, aren’t I?
Myra
You frighten me dreadfully.
David
Darling!
Myra
Don’t call me darling.
David
That’s unreasonable. You’ve been trying to make me—all the evening.
Myra
Your conceit is outrageous!
David
It’s not conceit at all. You’ve been firmly buttering me up because you want a nice little intrigue.
Myra
Rising.
How dare you!
