JACK. Shut up, Iris, for a moment—no right at all, but—but I’ll thank you. Only I’m not going to be Chillingham while you and Mother are Broxopp. I’ve made up my mind about that.
IRIS. And I’m not going to be Tenterden while [43]all of you are Chillingham. I’ve made up my mind about that.
BROXOPP. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t keep on the business as Chillingham?
JACK (doubtfully). N—no.
IRIS. As long as you make Jack a good allowance.
JACK. Shut up, Iris.
IRIS. Well, that’s what it comes to, darling. We may as well be honest about it.
NANCY (to IRIS). Don’t make it too hard for him.
And, of course, Jim will make him an allowance until his painting brings him in enough for both of you.
BROXOPP (after a pause). Jack, does Eton and Oxford allow you to kiss Iris sometimes?
