BOB. Hullo. (After a pause) Is that all you've got to say?
GERALD. I've just seen Pamela.
BOB (trying not to show his eagerness). Well?
GERALD. Well—isn't that enough?
BOB. What do you mean?
GERALD (bitterly). Do you want me to fall on, your neck, and say take her and be happy?
BOB. You never loved her.
GERALD. That's a lie, and anyhow we won't discuss it. She's going to marry you, and that's an end of it.
BOB (very eagerly). She is going to?
GERALD (sharply). Don't you know it?
