He looks about undecided, for a moment, sees large mirror over fireplace; goes to fireplace — places chair so that he can stand on it and sees his reflection in mirror. He first takes in his whiskers, which have been trimmed, since Act I., and give face altered appearance. He turns one cheek, then the other, toward mirror, feeling of whiskers as he does so. Shows he is greatly troubled by the effect. He then removes hat, slowly, mournfully observing the effect as he does so. His hair is close-cut, parted carefully and stylishly, giving an altogether different impression. He studies it from every angle — then with a sigh gets down from chair. He removes overcoat and throws it, with hat, on chair C. Then carefully looks at finger nails which have been freshly manicured .) NICK. ( into telephone, speaking very quietly )

He piles them up and puts them back into cigarette-case — pockets it again — and tries it over again. Then offers cigarette case to imaginary guest — takes cigarette himself — then lights match for guest — then puts cigarette in mouth with tip-end out — reverses it and lights his own cigarette — takes puff — makes wry face.
