Synopsis of Scene 31
Alan tells Dysart how he felt about his father after seeing him in the cinema. He and Jill talk and Jill tries to make light of the incident, but Alan is suddenly seeing his father, and other men, in a new light, and even feels some sympathy for him, blaming his mother.
Alan is reluctant to talk further but Dysart persuades him. Jill kisses Alan and they go to the stables.
