Richard
Is Miss Sorel Bliss in?
Clara
I expect so. I’ll see if I can find her.
She goes upstairs, humming a tune.
Simon
Hallo. Did you have a nice journey?
Richard
Yes, thank you, very nice. I met Miss Coryton at the station. We introduced ourselves while we were waiting for the only taxi to come back.
Myra
Oh, II took the only taxi. How maddening of me.
Richard
Mrs.Mrs. Arundel! How-do-you-do. I never recognised you.
Jackie
I did.
Myra
Why? Have we met anywhere?
Jackie
No; I mean I recognised you as the one who took the taxi.
Richard
To Simon .
You are Sorel’s brother?
Simon
Yes; she’ll be down in a minute. Come out into the garden, Myra—
