ROSE (offstage)
What was that?
ALEX (offstage)
What?
ROSE
There.
Listen.
It's her ghost.
I'm frightened.
ALEX (himself a little scared)
Don't be silly. I'll go and have a look.
ROSE (from inside)
Well?
ALEX (covering his misgivings)
There's nothing there. I suppose it must have been a rat.
ROSE
I can't sleep in a house full of rats!
ALEX (following)
Well, I don't want you to sleep just yet...
ROSE
Alex. Not now.
ALEX
Rose, where are you?
Rose, where are you?
ROSE
I've been out walking.
And what a day --
So crisp and clear!
And you're not spending it in here!
Let's breathe some mountain air!
ALEX
I thought you'd left me...
ROSE (continuing on her own line of thought)
What do you say?
ALEX
I had a dream you'd left me...
ROSE
Good idea?
ALEX (coming to)
Good idea!
