The Fugitive by John Galsworthy ACT I The SCENE is the pretty drawing-room of a flat. There are twodoors, one open into the hall, the other shut and curtained.Through a large bay window, the curtains of which are not yetdrawn, the towers of Westminster can be seen darkening in asummer sunset; a grand piano stands across one corner. Theman-servant PAYNTER, clean-shaven and discreet, is arranging twotables for Bridge.BURNEY, the maid, a girl with one of those flowery Botticellianfaces only met with in England, comes in through the curtaineddoor, which she leaves open, disclosing the glimpse of a whitewall. PAYNTER looks up at her; she shakes her head, with anexpression of concern. PAYNTER. Where's she gone? BURNEY. Just walks about, I fancy. PAYNTER. She and the Governor don't hit it! One of these days she'll flit-you'll see. I like her-she's a lady; but these thoroughbred 'uns-it's their skin and their mouths. They'll go till they drop if they like the job, and if they don't, it's nothing but jib-jib-jib. How was it down there before she married him? BURNEY. Oh! Quiet, of course.
