Act I

Simon
Well, you’re a devil. You only did it to annoy me. He’s far too plump, and he can’t do anything but dither about the Embassy in badly-cut trousers. You loathe him really; you know you do⁠—you’re too intelligent not to. You couldn’t like him and me at the same time⁠—it’s impossible!
Myra
Don’t be so conceited.
Simon
Darling⁠—I adore you.
Myra
That’s right.
Simon
But you’re callous⁠—that’s what it is, callous! You don’t care a damn. You don’t love me a bit, do you?
