STREPHON—In that case, I will forgive you.

PHYLLIS— Then we will be married at once. I will attend to the fairies afterward. But how about your mother?

STREPHON—But how about her guardian?

IOLANTHE— There is but one thing to do. I have been married to him for some years now. He is Strephon's father.
