Jenny
It's not true. It's not true.
James
You can't get round me, Jenny. I suppose you 'aven't been crying to-day?
Jenny
[Flushing.] I had a headache.
James
I know those sort of headaches.
Jenny
We had a little tiff this morning. That's why he went out… Oh, don't say he doesn't care for me. I couldn't live.
James
[With a laugh.] Go along with you. Basil Kent ain't the only pebble on the beach.
Jenny
[Vehemently.] Oh, Jimmie, Jimmie, sometimes I don't know which way to turn, I'm that unhappy. If the baby had only lived I might have kept my husband – I might have made him love me. [The sound is heard of a door being closed.] There's Basil.
James
Good luck to 'im.
Jenny
Oh, Jimmie, take care not to say anything to make him angry.
James
I'd just like to give 'im a piece of my mind.
Jenny
Oh, Jimmie, don't. It was my fault that we quarrelled this morning. I wanted to make him angry, and I nagged at him. Don't let him see that I've said anything to you. I'll see – I'll see if I can't send you a pound to-morrow, Jimmie.
James
[Defiantly.] He'd better not start patronising me, because I won't put up with it. I'm a gentleman, and I'm every bit as good as he is – if not better.
[Basil comes in, notices James, but does notspeak.
James
Afternoon, Basil.
Basil
[Indifferently.] You here again?
James
Looks like it, don't it.
Basil
[Quietly.] I'm afraid it does.
James
[Becoming more aggressive as the conversation proceeds.] Are you? I suppose I can come and see my own sister?
Basil
I suppose it's inevitable.
James
Well?
Basil
[Smiling.] Only I should be excessively grateful if you'd time your coming with my – with my going. And vice versa.
James
That means you want me to get out, I reckon.
Basil
You show unusual perspicacity, dear James.
James
And who are you with your long words, I should like to know?
Basil
[Blandly.] I? A person of not the least importance.
James
It's not true. It's not true.
James
You can't get round me, Jenny. I suppose you 'aven't been crying to-day?
