(Good-humouredly.) Oh, you know I'm not the sort of woman to grouse because you're a little late. I can always occupy myself by thinking how wonderful it will be to see you. And if I get bored with that I read your letters again. (GEORGE: I shouldn't have thought they were worth that.) I think I have every word you have ever written to me--those old letters of ten years ago and the little notes you write to me now. Even though they're only two or three lines, saying you'll come here or can't come, they're precious to me. (GEORGE: But do you keep them here?) Yes, they're safe here. They're locked up in that box. Only amah has the key of this room... George.
