Two other characters at the time note that they have been waiting for hours to eat and are quite hungry, before finding out that their guests have been waiting for them outside the whole time. Later, those four characters have a heated exchange including such lines as "you can sit on the chair if it hasn't got any," "Scaramoushe," and "It is not that way, it's over here." The hosts realize that they are husband and wife while talking to each other.
