Katherine, I have been telling Brooke of the change in his prospects.

Brooke Twombley.

I say, Mater, such a blow—what!

Lady Twombley.

Pa, why can’t you wait?

Sir Julian Twombley.

Wait—for what, Katherine?

Dowager.

Wait till the boy can patch up his future with a wealthy wife, of course.

Sir Julian Twombley.
