Act Three

Idle banter

Martina: Oho - a new face in the park! How charming.

• Bertram: First you worry about the guards, now you're chatting to every stranger we see - there's no time Martina! We must complete our walk!
  • Martina: Fine, darling. Fine. I apologise for my husband, he takes his 'daily constitutional' very seriously.

Bertram: No time to chat - we've a walk to finish! Forty-three years and I've never stopped short.

• Martina: Yes, and my knees feel every year.

Martina: Good heavens - I think that's quite enough walking for today, Bertram.

• Bertram: But... I've not missed my walk in forty three -
  • Martina: BERTRAM. HOME. NOW.

Martina: Oh, don't look so dour, Bertram. You can do two walks tomorrow to make up for it.
