[Hesitates, then looking straight at him.] I did. I kissed him.

What way?

[With a shrug.] O simply.

Were you excited?

Well, you can imagine. [Frowning suddenly.] Not much. He has not nice lips Still I was excited, of course. But not like with you, Dick.

Was he?

Excited? Yes, I think he was. He sighed. He was dreadfully nervous.

[Resting his forehead on his hand.] I see.

[Crosses towards the lounge and stands near him.] Are you jealous?

[As before.] No.

[Quietly.] You are, Dick.

I am not. Jealous of what?

Because he kissed me.
