From Misalliance by Bernard Shaw

Yes: that will be best. (To Bentley) Johnny doesnt mean any harm, dear: he'll be himself presently. Come. The two ladies go out through the inner door with Bentley, who turns at the door to grin at Johnny as he goes out. Johnny, left alone, clenches his fists and grinds his teeth, but can find no relief in that way for his rage. After choking and stamping for a moment, he makes for the vestibule door. It opens before he reaches it; and Lord Summerhays comes in. Johnny glares at him, speechless. Lord Summerhays takes in the situation, and quickly takes the punchbowl from the sideboard and offers it to Johnny.
