STRANGE INTERLUDE

NINA

{Forgetting Evans, gets to her feet as if to receive

Darrell in her arms - with love.)
Ned!

EVANS

(Affectionately and gratefully.)
Hallo, Ned!

(He holds out his hand, which Darrell takes mechani-
cally.)

DARRELL

(Trying to overcome his guilty embarrassment.)
Hallo! Sam. Didn't see you.

(Hurriedly reaching in his coat pocket.)
Before I forget, here's that letter. I had a talk over the
'phone with Appleby yesterday. He's pretty sure there's an
opening -

(With a condescension he can't help.)

- but you'll have to get your nose on the grindstone to make
good with him.

EVANS

(Flushing guiltily -forcing a confident tone.)
You bet I will!

(Then gratefully and humbly^)
Gosh, Ned, I can't tell you how grateful I am!

DARRELL

(Brusquely, to hide his embarrassment^)
Oh, shut up! I'm only too glad.
