Act I

Judith
Oh, no. I must introduce you. This is my daughter Sorel, and my son Simon.
Sandy
Shaking hands.
How-do-you-do.
Sorel
Coldly.
I’m extremely well, thank you, and I hope you are.
Simon
So do I.
Judith
You must forgive me for having rather peculiar children. Have you got a bag or anything?
Sandy
Yes; it’s in the car.
Judith
We’d better leave it there for the moment, as Clara has to get the tea. We’ll find you a room afterwards.
Sandy
I’ve been looking forward to this most awfully.
Judith
It is nice, isn’t it? You can see as far as Marlow on a clear day, they tell me.
Sandy
I meant I’ve been looking forward to seeing you.
