START: PETER. He’s nice, but what a baby!

PATRICIA looks angrily at him.

Darling, don’t be angry, please.

PATRICIA. Angry? (Wearily). Oh, Lord, what an idiot you are!

PETER. I don’t see that I’ve done anything so wrong in coming down to face the music.

[... …]

END: PATRICIA. Yes. I had to put him to bed, poor lamb.

PETER. Charming for you.

PATRICIA. No, it wasn’t – I mean, it was, rather.

PETER. It couldn’t have been.

PATRICIA. I don’t know. I quite enjoyed it. Perhaps because I was so relieved that I hadn’t got to tell him.
