Rosemary is greeting Man. Alice stands respectfully aside, takes his hat and coat, and is dismissed.
MAN Still got your maid, I see.
ROSEMARY I have made up my mind to dismiss her.
MAN I thought you would find her somewhat insolent.
ROSEMARY No, it's not that. She weighs heavily – dependent – as if she looks to me for help. (Laughs.)
MAN I love it when you laugh like that; there is a fascinating music in it.
ROSEMARY That's what Alice says. I think I find her fascination very agreeable – more now than I used to in the old days.
MAN I don't like her – or Roland. I don't know why you shelter them; I feel they are both dangerous.
ROSEMARY I think he is.
MAN You would be wise to let me shoot him – or have him shot.
