Lloyd Munro returns to the cottage.  He stops underneath the step ladder and gazes upwards.  "Is that who I think it is?" he asks Barbara.  David comes down the ladder.  "Did she talk you into this?" Lloyd asks David.  Barbara tells him that David talked himself into it.  "Well, you know.  A damsel in distress..." says David and climbs back up the step ladder.  A shower of dust falls onto Lloyds head.  "Cut that out!" says Lloyd.
