BASIL.
Oh--I hardly know him yet. He seems very amiable.
JENNY.
He's not a bad sort when you know him. He's just like my mother.
BASIL.
[_Raising his brows._] Is he? And--is your father like that too?
JENNY.
Well, you know, Pa hasn't had the education that Jimmie's had. Jimmie was at a boarding-school at Margate.
BASIL.
Was he?
JENNY.
You were at a boarding-school, too, weren't you?
BASIL.
[_Smiling._] Yes, I was at Harrow.
JENNY.
Ah, you don't get the fine air at Harrow that you get at Margate.
BASIL.
Shall I put down your cup?
JENNY.
[_Placing it on a table._] Oh, thanks, it's all right. Come and sit by me, Basil.
BASIL.
[_Seating himself on the arm of her chair._] There.
JENNY.
[_Taking his hand._] I'm so glad we're alone. I should like to be alone with you all my life. You do love me, don't you, Basil?
BASIL.
Yes.
JENNY.
Much?
BASIL.
[_Smiling._] Yes.
JENNY.
I'm so glad. Oh, I don't know what I should do if you didn't love me. If you hadn't been kind to me I should have thrown myself in the river.
BASIL.
What nonsense you talk.
JENNY.
I mean it.
[_He pa.s.ses his hand affectionately over her hair._
JENNY.
Oh, you _are_ so good, Basil. I'm so proud of you. I shall be so proud to be your wife.
BASIL.
[_Gravely._] Don't think too well of me Jenny.
JENNY.
[_With a laugh._] I'm not afraid of that. You're brave and you're clever and you're a professional man, and you're everything.
BASIL.
You foolish child.
JENNY.
[_Pa.s.sionately._] I can't tell you how much I love you.
BASIL.
I'll try with all my might to be a good husband to you, Jenny.
[_She flings her arms round his neck and they kiss one another._
