I'm so glad you're helping him. [She turns again to GEOFFREY.]
Pure imagination, dearest. I never felt better in my life.
GEOFFREY Umph! Look at all those lines underneath your eyes. [He
shakes hands with ELIZABETH.] How do you do? [To PHOEBE.] How
are you?
ANNYS [She comes back to him--makes to smooth the lines from his
forehead.] Look at all those, there. We'll run away together for
a holiday, when it's all over. What are you doing this evening?
SIGSBY You promised to speak at a Smoker to-night; the Bow and
Bromley Buffaloes.
ANNYS Oh, bother the Buffaloes. Take me out to dinner. I am free
after seven.
[MRS. CHINN has entered--is arranging the table for tea. ANNYS
goes to her.]
How are you, Mrs. Chinn?
MRS. CHINN [She wipes her hand on her apron before taking ANNYS'S
proffered hand.]
GEOFFREY [To SIGSBY.] I can turn up there later in the evening.
[He joins the others for a moment--talks with them.]
MRS. CHINN [Now shaking hands.] Quite well, thank you, ma'am.
