MAGGIE. Percy’s awfully smitten, isn’t he?
CHARLEY. [surprised.] With her?
MAGGIE. Of course. But you haven’t noticed that. Lily’s been arranging it.
CHARLEY. But he’s such a kid.
MAGGIE. He’s twenty-two.
CHARLEY. What’s that?
MAGGIE. Lots of men marry at twenty-two.
CHARLEY. More fools they! Getting tied up before they’ve seen anything.
MAGGIE. [thoughtfully.] I can never understand why a man gets married. He’s got so many chances to see the world and do things—and then he goes and marries and settles down and is a family man before he’s twenty-four.
CHARLEY. It’s a habit.
