Coast. Louise was a pretty good liar when she was a kid. She ought to help her husband along a little.
Georgiana. That's just it! if Steve had the right sort of wife,—but all Louise wants is social position and more money.
[She sits on the hobby horse, amusedly.]
Coast. If Louise was like you!

Georgiana. Heaven forbid! The only trouble with Steve is he's weak. He'd have been all right if he'd been a girl—or married to a president of Sorosis, or a daughter of the Present Revolution!
Coast. Miss Georgiana, take off that nose and
let me ask you something.
Georgiana. Not at all, my dear Sammy. I know what it is you want to ask me! I'm much obliged and I won't.
Coast. You won't marry me!
