CAROL You utter beast. EDWARD Well—what’s the decision? CAROL [_Wailing_] I’ll never speak to you again—never—never—never. EDWARD [_Rising_] Evie? EVELYN [_Gruffly_] You’d better give us time to think. EDWARD What is the time now, anyhow? EVELYN [_Looking at his watch_] Twenty past one. EDWARD My God! I knew I should be late. I’ll be at the Berkeley if you want me. [_EDWARD goes out. EVELYN and CAROL look after him and then at each other._] [_CAROL after a pause walks over and sits next to EVIE._] CAROL Evie. EVIE What? CAROL [_Sweetly_] There’s still time for you to shoot yourself! CURTAIN
