Drawing room, Collinwood - Not that I know Evans well, says Roger, he has a reputation in town--I think you ought to be aware of it. Vicki, sitting in a chair, says all right, he drinks too much--what else? I don't think you understand, insists Roger, when Evans drinks, he gets ugly--he, how shall I say, is not the most pleasant person to be around. Then I'll have to take my chances, says Vicki. Don't you see, I'm trying to help you, says Roger--if you're anxious to meet an artist, why must it be Sam Evans?--there are three or four others in the vicinity. None of whose daughters have invited me to dinner, points out Vicki. I think something can be arranged, says Roger. But that's silly, says Vicki--I'm still a stranger here, and I've found someone friendly enough to invite me to her house--why should I turn her down and then go looking for someone else? Because I'd prefer it, says Roger--as long as you're a member of our household, any associations you make reflect on us. Then I won't tell anyone where I'm from, says Vicki. Don't be rude, says Roger, annoyed. Vicki rises and apologizes if she was rude--but I do think it's a little ridiculous--I mean it--all this fuss over a simple dinner invitation--unless there's some other reason you don't want me to meet Sam Evans.[/spoiler]
