[_In a strange voice, but calmly._] How do you do?

HUGH.

How do you do?

PAULA.

[_To_ ELLEAN.] Mr. Ardale and I have met in London, Ellean.

Er--Captain Ardale, now?

HUGH.

Yes.

ELLEAN.

In London?

PAULA.

They say the world's very small, don't they?

HUGH.

Yes.

PAULA.

Ellean, dear, I want to have a little talk about you to Mr.

Ardale--Captain Ardale--alone. [_Putting her arms round_ ELLEAN, _and leading her to the door._] Come back in a little while. [ELLEAN _nods to_ PAULA _with a smile and goes out, while_ PAULA _stands watching her at the open door._] In a little while--in a little---- [_Closing the door and then taking a seat facing_ HUGH.]

Be quick! Mr. Tanqueray has only gone down to The Warren with Mrs.

Cortelyon. What is to be done?

HUGH.

PAULA.

Jarman?

HUGH.

Yes.

PAULA.

I'd been going by that name. You didn't follow my doings after we separated.

HUGH.

No.

PAULA.

[_Sneeringly._] No.

HUGH.

I went out to India.

PAULA.

What's to be done?

HUGH.

d.a.m.n this chance!

PAULA.

Oh, my G.o.d!

HUGH.

Your husband doesn't know, does he?

PAULA.

That you and I----?

HUGH.

Yes.

PAULA.

No. He knows about others.

HUGH.
