absence, his wife Mary (Ann Todd) meets Steven Stratton (Trevor Howard) with whom she was once in love. During Howard's absence they see a great deal of each other and fall in love again. Howard returns from Germany earlier than expected and Mary informs him that she has arranged to go to the theatre that night with Steven. Later in the evening, Howard finds that Mary has left the theatre tickets behind ; he goes to the theatre with the tickets, buys a programme at the door and finds that Mary and Steven are not there. He goes home and carefully places the programme on a table in the centre of the room. When Steven and Mary arrive home Howard insists that Steven should come in for a drink. Steven consents and, while Mary is upstairs changing, Howard tells Steven all about his visit to Germany in terms referring to treachery, sentimentality, etc., which are obviously an indirect and ironic allusion to Steven's affair with Mary. Then Mary enters.
