HUBERT: Not at all ... I ... (_To_ OLIVIA) Here, you deal with

DAN (_to him_): Did you see the picture of me when I was a little

HUBERT: Yes.... Very jolly.
DAN (_turning to_ MRS. TERENCE): Did _you?_ It was in the
inside of my wallet.
MRS. TERENCE: Oh ... was it?
DAN: Yes. Where I should be keeping my money, only any bit of money I
have I always keep _on_ me. (_Turning to_ HUBERT) Safer, don't
you think?
HUBERT (_smiling weakly_): Ye-es....
DAN: I only keep one ten-bob note in this wallet, for emergencies....
(_Looking_) That's funny. It's gone.
_He looks at_ HUBERT. _The others look blankly at one

HUBERT: Letter?
DAN: You got in your hand.
HUBERT: Well, I didn't--er--
DAN: Means well, does Lil; but we had a row.
