Austin. Yes—Wall Street is very uncertain. I'm worried,—I don't mind telling you,—and I want to see Geoffrey about his business.

Jinny. [Half in earnest.] Jack! You're not running away from her, are you?

Austin. Jinny! After all we've said!

Jinny. No! I wasn't in earnest! I'm ready to go. I've seen the Lakes, and whether you are in Italy or in New York, so long as we are together, it's our honeymoon just the same.

Austin. And may it last all our lives!

Jinny. Still, I don't mind owning up that leaving Ruth Chester behind here is rather pleasanter! [She rises quickly with a sudden thought.] She is not going back, too?

Austin. Oh, no, not for a long time. They are over here indefinitely.

Jinny. I've been too horrid and nasty for words this morning, Jack—I'm so sorry.

Austin. It's over and forgotten now.

Jinny. You do forgive me?
