OLIVIA: Oh, Dan's room used to be the box-room.
BELSIZE: Oh, I see....
OLIVIA: I'll keep it in my wardrobe; it'll be safer there.... _With
sudden feverish resolution, she picks up the box and carries it into
the kitchen._ DAN _looks the other way as she passes him._
BELSIZE: I'm very sorry, miss. (_Scratching his head_) I'm afraid
I've offended her....
DAN (_smiling_): She'll be all right, sir....
BELSIZE: Well, young feller, I'll be off. You might tell the old lady I
popped in, and hope she's better.
DAN (_smiling and nodding_): Thank you, sir.... Good day, sir.
BELSIZE: Good day.
_He goes out through the front door into the twilight, closing it
behind him._
DAN: Good day sir....
_A pause,_ DAN _crumples to the floor in a dead faint._
