[He nods to Basil and goes out. Hilda looksat Basil with a smile.
Hilda
Is that a very interesting book?
Basil
[Putting it down.] I thought that man was never going away.
Hilda
[Laughing.] I suspect he thought precisely the same of you.
Basil
[Ill-temperedly.] What an ass he is! How can you stand him?
Hilda
I'm rather attached to him. I don't take everything he says very seriously. And young men ought to be foolish.
Basil
He didn't strike me as so juvenile as all that.
Hilda
He's only forty, poor thing – and I've never known a coming young man who was less than that.
Basil
He's a young man with a very bald head.
Hilda
[Amused.] I wonder why you dislike him!
Basil
[With a jealous glance, icily.] I thought he wasn't admitted into decent houses.
Hilda
[Opening her eyes.] He comes here, Mr. Kent.
Basil
[Unable to restrain his ill-temper.] Don't you know that he's been mixed up in every scandal for the last twenty years?
Hilda
[Good-humouredly, seeing that Basil is merely jealous.] There must be people in the world to provide gossip for their neighbours.
Basil
It's no business of mine. I have no right to talk to you like this.
Hilda
I wonder why you do it?
Basil
[Almost savagely.] Because I love you.
[There is a little pause.
Hilda
[With a smile, ironically.] Won't you have some more tea, Mr. Kent?
Basil
[Going up to her, speaking with a sort of vehement gravity.] You don't know what I've suffered. You don't know what a hell my life is… I tried so hard to prevent myself from coming here. When I married I swore I'd break with all my old friends… When I married I found I loved you.
Hilda
I can't listen to you if you talk like that.
Basil
D'you want me to go?
[She does not answer for a moment, but walks up and down in agitation. At last shestops and faces him.
Hilda
Did you hear me tell Mr. Brackley to come on Thursday?
Basil
Yes.
Hilda
He's asked me to be his wife. And on Thursday I shall give him an answer.
