in a suite at savoy's hotel we see the door open and ben and jo mckenna are ushered into the suite by the frock-coated desk clerk. behind them are two assistant porters carrying their bags. in the foreground, through which we are shooting, are three large baskets of assorted flowers. they are obviously gift of greeting to london. the porters move off into the bedroom with the bags. they lay out the bags, open the drapes and windows, etc. the desk clerk turns on the lights in the main room, as the mckennas look about.
the five persons in the mckenna suits are sitting around. all but jo have drinks in their hands. she seems to be absorbed in her own thoughts, but val parnell is holding forth, oblivious at first to her disinterest.
with some excitement, jo addresses val parnell.
he goes immediately to the phone. jan hands ben the receiver.
ben hangs up the phone and starts for the door. he looks back at the group as he pauses in doorway.
