Played by the Cotswold Players

Scene: Between the front door and the hat-stand. Time: 2.5 a.m.
He has just returned home. Conscious of the hour, he closes the front door very, very softly. But She has been sitting up to catch him at the earliest moment, and now, in dressing-gown and boudoir cap, She is watching from the foot of the stairs. He turns from the front door and gives a little gasp of surprise and dismay at seeing her. He ventures a conciliatory smile, but her expression continues ominous. Then she launches her attack.
