DORA. I'm ready to marry Bobby, if that will be any satisfaction.
GILBEY. No you dont. Not if I know it.
MRS KNOX. He ought to, Mr Gilbey.
GILBEY. Well, if thats your religion, Amelia Knox, I want no more of it. Would you invite them to your house if he married her?
MRS KNOX. He ought to marry her whether or no.
BOBBY. I feel I ought to, Mrs Knox.
GILBEY. Hold your tongue. Mind your own business.
BOBBY. [wildly] If I'm not let marry her, I'll do something downright disgraceful. I'll enlist as a soldier.
JUGGINS. That is not a disgrace, sir.
BOBBY. Not for you, perhaps. But youre only a footman. I'm a gentleman.
