She tells him to have a look in the living room - he should pretend he's gone to fetch something. Reg departs for the dining room, to have a 'look in'. Reg enters, carrying a wastepaper basket.

They are laughing as Sarah returns. She gets angry at them for laughing. Tom enters from the living room, laughing. Sarah shuts him up with an icy stare. Sarah charges out to get more food. Annie follows her. They return with food, and Sarah, Tom, Annie and Reg eat, while listening to Norman sing.
