Georgiana. Dick's a lawyer. What could he do for Steven?
Coast. That's not the information I wanted.
Georgiana. But it's all the information you'll get!
[Gets off the hobby horse and comes down a little.
Coast. [Follows her.] Georgiana, marry me, and I'll look after Steven all the rest of his life.
Georgiana. Sammy, you don't want me to marry you if I don't love you.
Coast. Yes, I do. Listen! I'd risk your not loving me; there's nothing on God's earth I wouldn't do to make you love me.
Georgiana. That's the trouble with you men, you think you can make a woman love you whether she wants to or not, but you can't!—neither ca
n you keep her from loving you if she does, whether she wants to or not.
[Throws nose away; crossing to the Left, sits in the rocking chair there.
