WALTER. [Mumbling, as he fingers the cards.] A friend of Betty's—I fancy you've met her—
HECTOR. Who?
BETTY. Mary Gillingham. We're the first to know—he only proposed to-day.
HECTOR. Gillingham, Gillingham…. Oh yes, I've seen her, just seen her, but I don't remember…. I say, not the daughter of the sealing-wax man?
WALTER. Yes.
HECTOR. Then there's lots of tin! Fine! Oh you artful old dodger! Is she pretty?
WALTER. So-So.
BETTY. [Still leaning against the table, and looking at them both.]
She's excessively pretty. She has yellow hair and blue eyes.
HECTOR. [Chuckling.] And she has caught old Wallie. The cynical old
Wallie who sniffed at women! Though perhaps it's the money—
BETTY. No. He's in love with her.
