Lucas:
Good! Your word comes and goes like the air.
Mrs. Townly: (sweetly)
Wait till you see.
Lucas:
You can't make up your mind.
Mrs. Townly: To prove my sincerity and my submission, I am going this moment to forbid Mr. Nelson to set foot in this house.
(Exit Mrs. Townly)
Townly:
I believe she's going to do it. What should have caused this miracle?
Lucas:
Listen, it must be that—
Townly: It would be, just my luck. The only time in her life she doesn't contradict me it's to contradict me.
Lucas:
For her to obey you is not natural.
Townly:
I am going to see what's happening. I still don't believe it.
