- Yes, I know. I haven't been sleeping too well.

- I really am sorry, darling.

- Oh, it doesn't matter. Forget it.

- Listen, darling, I know you fairly well. You're keeping something from me. What is it?

- Well, if you must know, it's that mirror. You remember me telling you that first evening? Well, it's got worse. Much worse. Every time I look in it now, I see that room.

- It's getting me down. I'd really rather not talk about it.

- You'll feel much better if you do. It's no good bottling things up, you know.

- Well at first, if I made an enormous effort of will, the reflection used to change back to what it ought to be. But lately, however hard I try, it doesn't change anymore.

- The only thing to do is to try not to look in it at all.
