Lucy
Sir, I have to go.
(Exit Lucy.)
Desmond
What to do now?
(Enter Arabella.)
Arabella
Tell me quickly—how did your conversation go with my aunt?
Desmond I think I've convinced her that she should let me arbitrate between her and the Countess.
Arabella
That's funny.
Desmond She's disposed to agree to whatever I suggest, and—in a word—she's working for our marriage, without even knowing it.
Arabella
Without knowing it. That makes me delighted.
Desmond
Do you understand what our happiness is?
