IRIS. Hallo, Daddy Broxopp.
BROXOPP (kissing her). Hallo, my girl. You haven’t called me that for a long time.
[83]IRIS. I know. Let’s try and forget that. Are you going to forgive me? She has.
BROXOPP. Forgive you for what?
IRIS. Well, for not having been an orphan for one thing.
NANCY (shaking her head at her with a smile). Iris!
IRIS. And for putting a lot of nonsense into Jack’s head, and making an utter mess of things.
JACK. My dear girl, any nonsense in my head came there of itself; it wasn’t put in by you.
IRIS. Well, there it was, anyhow. The fact is, Daddy Broxopp, we’ve made a discovery in the last few months.
BROXOPP. Hallo, what’s that?
