[They sit on the bench at Right, and Jinny takes out a letter from Geoffrey.

Austin. I'll read ahead in Baedeker and you tell me if there's any news. [He opens the Baedeker and reads, and she opens and reads the letter.] Where is Geof's letter from?

Jinny. New York, of course; where else would it be?

Austin. I had an idea he was going away.

Jinny. Geof! Where?

Austin. West, a good way somewhere.

Jinny. But why would he go West?

Austin. Oh, he had some business, I believe; I remember thinking it was a good idea when he told me. It was the day we were married—I was waiting for you to come downstairs.

Jinny. I think it's very funny Geof never said anything about it to me.

Austin. My dear, what time had you? You were getting married!!
