My apologies. I'd get the door myself --
[But by the time she's opened it, he's barely moved the blankets off his legs. Which is for the best. He'd probably trip on the way there.] Yet you're far quicker than me, especially now. [He smiles to see her, and it's real relief in his sigh to see she appears completely unharmed. No worse for wear than if they'd simply gone on a horse ride.] How are you, my dear?
