“Feel engaged”

“ last summer, when you never came near me and I wondered what had happened to you”

“I told him that if they didn’t get rid of that girl, I’d never go near the place again.”

Stage direction “as if she’s been crying”

“Then I’m staying”

“So that’s what you think I’m really like! I’m glad I realised it in time, Gerald”

“I know I’m to blame - and I’m desperately sorry”

“No mother - please”

“ he’s giving us the rope - so we can hang ourselves”

“ I tell you - whoever that inspector was, it was anything but a joke”

“ you’re forgetting I’m supposed to be engaged to the hero”

“I rather respect you more than I’ve ever done before”

(Excited)...“Is it the one you wanted me to have”

“These girls aren’t cheap labour- they’re people”

“Don’t you see”

“ it’s you two who are being childish - trying not to face the facts”

"I was absolutely furious"
