GREGORY. Does my speaking to your wife do you any harm?
JUNO. No. But it's the proper course to take. [Emphatically]. We MUST behave with some sort of decency.
MRS. LUNN. And are you never going to speak to me again, Mr. Juno?
JUNO. I'm prepared to promise never to do so. I think your husband has a right to demand that. Then if I speak to you after, it will not be his fault. It will be a breach of my promise; and I shall not attempt to defend my conduct.
GREGORY [facing him] I shall talk to your wife as often as she'll let me.
MRS. JUNO. I have no objection to your speaking to me, Mr. Lunn.
JUNO. Then I shall take steps.
GREGORY. What steps?
JUNO. Steps. Measures. Proceedings. What steps as may seem advisable.
MRS. LUNN [to Mrs. Juno] Can your husband afford a scandal, Mrs. Juno?
