Coast. I'd give you everything!

Georgiana. That you can buy!

Coast. Do you mean that you'd rather be dead poor than marry me?

Georgiana. No, I don't say that! When I've lost everything and Steven and Louise are bankrupt, and we haven't a penny—

Coast. Yes!

Georgiana. I might—I say I might—

Coast. Honest!

Georgiana. [Laughing.] Oh, dear, no!

Coast. I take you at your word, anyhow.
