Mrs. Townly: (to Edward)
To oblige you, sir, I have put a gift for you in the contract.
Edward: (signing) Hey! I didn't do it because of the gift. Go ahead, sir, don't waste a minute for fear Madam will change her mind.
(Townly pushed by his wife, signs)
Lawyer:
These proceedings are closed. (Folds up the contract, bows and exits)
(Lucas whispers to Mrs. Townly)
Mrs. Townly:
What do you say?
Lucas:
I wish to say simply that they love each other.
Townly:
And I only wanted to marry her. No matter to whom.
Mrs. Townly:
I've been betrayed.
Angelica:
I throw myself at your feet, mama.
