Kate Hamilton arrives at the cottage and asks David where Lucy is.  David says she is working in the garden because she and Richard Lord spent the afternoon playing tennis.  Kate tells David that she finds it strange that a grown man would want to spend some of his leisure time with a sixteen year old girl.  David tells Kate that he has to be on duty at the motel until 9.30 this evening and Kate says she will cook his steak when he comes home.  "Kate.  You don't think..." begins David.  "Something wrong?" asks Kate.  "No.  No, I was just going to say won't you be too tired to cook my dinner at 9.30," says David.
