You shouldn't say things like that, Jack. I hope you won't tell Ann that I have been speaking to you. I only wanted to set myself right with you and Tavy. I couldn't sit mumchance and have everything put on me. (TANNER: Quite so.) (dissatisfied) And now I've only made matters worse. Tavy's angry with me because I don't worship Ann. And when it's been put into my head that Ann ought to marry you, what can I say except that it would serve her right? (TANNER: Thank you.) Now don't be silly and twist what I say into something I don't mean. I ought to have fair play-- Ann comes from the villa, followed presently by Violet, who is dressed for driving.
