Act I

Judith
It’s this garden hat⁠—I’ll take it off. There. I’ve been pruning the calceolarias.
She does so.
Sandy
Puzzled.
Oh?⁠—
Judith
I love my garden, you know⁠—it’s so peaceful and quaint. I spend long days dreaming away in it⁠—you know how one dreams.
Sandy
Oh, yes.
Judith
Warming up.
I always longed to leave the brittle glamour of cities and theatres and find rest in some old-world nook. That’s why we came to Cookham.
Sandy
It’s awfully nice⁠—Cookham.
Judith
Have you ever seen me on the stage?
Sandy
Rather!
Judith
What in?
Sandy
That thing when you pretended to cheat at cards to save your husband’s good name.
