Myra
Please let go of my hand, David; I should like to go to bed.
Judith
I should stay if I were you—it would be more dignified.
David
There isn’t any real necessity for a scene.
Judith
I don’t want a scene. I just want to straighten things out.
David
Very well—go ahead.
Judith
June has always been an unlucky month for me.
Myra
Look here, Judith, I’d like to explain one thing—
Judith
Austerely.
I don’t wish to hear any explanations or excuses—they’re so cheapening. This was bound to happen sooner or later—it always does, to everybody. The only thing is to keep calm.
David
I am—perfectly.
Judith
Sharply.
There is such a thing as being too calm.
David
Sorry, dear.
