Robert
[Hotly.] Richard, you will make me angry with you if you say that.
Richard
Angry or not, I will not live on your generosity. You have asked her to meet you here tonight and alone. Solve the question between you.
Robert
[Promptly.] Open the door. I shall wait in the garden. [He goes towards the porch.] Explain to her, Richard, as best you can. I cannot see her now.
Richard
I shall go, I tell you. Wait out there if you wish.
[He goes out by the door on the right. Robert goes out hastily through the porch but comes back the same instant.]
Robert
An umbrella! [With a sudden gesture.] O!
[He goes out again through the porch. The hall door is heard to open and close. Richard enters, followed by Bertha, who is dressed in a dark-brown costume and wears a small dark red hat. She has neither umbrella nor waterproof.]
Richard
[Gaily.] Welcome back to old Ireland!
Bertha
[Nervously, seriously.] Is this the place?
Richard
Yes, it is. How did you find it?
