Tommy How are you doing, Major?

Christopher Thank you, I am doing well. And what is your name?

Tommy Tommy Boyle – from out beside Lough Anna.

Christopher And a most beautiful place that is, too. And in your bare feet! Aren’t you a virile chappie?

Tommy What does that mean?

Christopher It means you’re a robustly masculine young man.

Tommy (to all) That doesn’t sound too bad at all, does it?

Christopher You are, too.

Tommy Bejaysus, that’ll do me. And not a shoe on my foot!

Christopher And a little saucy, too, I suspect.

Tommy Saucy Tommy Boyle from Lough Anna! Virile Tommy Boyle from Lough Anna! Bejaysus, Major, you’ve the right man here for whatever the job is.

Christopher I’m not a major, Thomas.

Tommy Neither am I too. So there’s a pair of us in it, isn’t there?

Margaret arrives at the French windows and watches on.

Mary Sir, I’m a widow-woman; and there’s six young ones in the house; and the man’s dead for over four months; and I can’t –

Christopher We’ll come to that in time, Mary. (to Maisie) And you’re most welcome, too. And what is your name?

What Maisie says is inaudible.
