MARJORIE<br />
She’ll never come down. We’re quite<br />
safe...<br />
As they approach the cottage, EDWARD’S father, LIONEL comes out<br />
through the kitchen door, both concerned and resigned.<br />
LIONEL<br />
Marjorie Mayhew. You’ll get me thrown<br />
in prison.<br />

They’ve seen it all before. The family gathers round Marjorie,<br />
shepherds her indoors.<br />
HARRIET<br />
Come on, Mum.<br />

12<br />
The COUPLE are alone at last. Awkwardness descends. Without<br />
appetite, they push the food around their plates. The waves<br />
breaking on the beach sound loudly through the French windows,<br />
which stand ajar. They meet each other’s eye, smile nervously,<br />

must go through after dinner. Her POV: EDWARD, his big, eager<br />
face, his uncertain expression.<br />
Then EDWARD’S POV: Behind FLORENCE, through the connecting<br />
doors, he can see into the bedroom.<br />

FLORENCE<br />
EDWARD<br />
