And you are quite a stranger in these parts, Miss Wrath? (ANABEL: Practically. But I was born at Derby.) I was born in this house--but it was a different affair then: my father was a farmer, you know. The coal has brought us what moderate wealth we have. Of course, we were never poor or needy--farmers, substantial farmers. And I think we were happier so--yes.--Winnie, dear, hand Miss Wrath the sweets. I hope they're good. I ordered them from London for you.--Oliver, my boy, have you everything you like? That's right.--It gives me such pleasure to see a little festive gathering in this room again. I wish Bertie and Elinor might be here. What time is it, Gerald? (GERALD: A quarter to nine, father.) Not late yet. I can sit with you another half-hour. I am feeling better to-day. Winifred, sing something for us.
