Good. And--[_shaking hands with her_] thanks to _you_. [_Releasing her
hand._] Thanks.
SOPHY.
[_Nerving herself for her task._] Thanks!
BASTLING.
A million of 'em; What's the matter?
SOPHY.
Oh, nothing.
BASTLING.
Yes, there is. Come, out with it.
SOPHY.
Well--_thanks_! [_Tossing her head._] There isn't much in thanks.
BASTLING.
[_Puzzled._] Not much in thanks?
SOPHY.
[_Turning away, pouting._] _I_ think not.
BASTLING.
[_Smiling._] Oh, I know I owe a tremendous deal to the pretty
manicurist, and I don't intend to forget it. Just now I'm rather
hard-up, [_glancing towards the window_] but I shall be in funds before
long--
SOPHY.
[_Turning to him with genuine indignation._] Oh!
BASTLING.
What do you want, then?
SOPHY.
[_After a moment's hesitation, sidling up to him._] Not money.
BASTLING.
Not?
SOPHY.
A little more than plain thanks though.
BASTLING.
[_Looking into her eyes, laughing softly._] Ha, ha, ha!
SOPHY.
[_Slyly._] Ha, ha, ha!
BASTLING.
Thanks--differently expressed--? [_She plays with the lapel of his coat
and giggles. He takes her chin in his hand._] Ha, ha, ha! Sophy!
SOPHY.
Ha, ha!
[MURIEL _appears at the open window and enters the room noiselessly.
Seeing_ BASTLING _and_ SOPHY _together, she halts in surprise._
BASTLING.
