(dramatic music) (footsteps) - [Helen] Is that Mr.Bast?
- [Margaret] It looks like him.
(hurried footsteps) - [Helen] Do you suppose it's him?
- [Margaret] Oh yes, it must be.
- Annie we'll be three for tea.
- Yes, Miss, will you have it in the drawing room?
- Yes the drawing room.
- Yes Annie thank you.
- Thank you.
- Now Helen, don't let us act like fluttering idiots.
- Oh yes, I agree.
- He's bound to be very ashamed of himself, and I want to make him feel at home.
- I think he will be very grateful to find we didn't mind Mrs.
Bast and nearly forgotten the entire incide-- - Helen I'm being serious.
- So am I serious.
- I won't have him treated like a social experiment.
Do open the door.
- Well he hasn't rung the bell.
If we open the door before he rings, he will certainly feel like a social experiment.
- Please be quiet.
(knocking) (door opening) - Yes?
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
No doubt you you can remember the last occasion on which we met.
- Well, not exactly.
- We remember some of it.
- My brother said that we stole your umbrella from the Prince Regent's?
- Yes, they were playing Beethoven's Fifth that day.
- We always go to the Fifth when they play it, but I do remember stealing your umbrella.
- Quite inadvertently.
- I suppose you can guess the reason for my visit today.
- Has it gone missing again(laughing)?
- Helen!
- No, it hasn't.
That's all right, all right, Ms.Schlegel.
- I'm so sorry, what an idiotic joke.
Would you like to come inside?
- Thank you, I should like to explain.
- We're just about to sit down for some tea, I do hope you'll join us.
- I don't like to impose.
- Oh, don't refuse us!
- Oh, do please!
- Thanks.
Should be very happy to.
- Won't you come this way.
- Thank you.
After you.
- Thank you.
