Part 12 (1/2)

Why have you come here?

PAULA.

Angry?

AUBREY.

Yes--no. But it's eleven o'clock.

PAULA.

[_Laughing._] I know.

AUBREY.

What on earth will Morse think?

PAULA.

Do you trouble yourself about what servants _think_?

AUBREY.

Of course.

PAULA.

Goose! They're only machines made to wait upon people--and to give evidence in the Divorce Court. [_Looking round._] Oh, indeed! A snug little dinner!

AUBREY.

Three men.

PAULA.

[_Suspiciously._] Men?

AUBREY.

Men.

PAULA.

[_Penitently._] Ah! [_Sitting at the table._] I'm so hungry.

AUBREY.

Let me get you some game pie, or some----

PAULA.
