Miss Woodward.

Your wife, Mr. Gunning?

Gunning.

It may appear sudden and cold-blooded—but your cab is coming.

Miss Woodward.

You’ve taken my breath away. How exciting it is when it does come. I really don’t know what to say. I know there is a usual thing. It isn’t “To what am I indebted for this honour,” is it?

Gunning.

I don’t know. I’ve never asked a girl before.

Miss Woodward.

We don’t know each other in the least.
