DOCTOR. Oh! That is quite simple.
GEORGE. Tell me.
DOCTOR. It is no longer any concern of yours; but when you have a son you will be able to tell him what to do.
GEORGE. What’s that?
DOCTOR. To love only one woman, to be her first lover, and to love her so well that she will never be false to you.
GEORGE. That’s easy, isn’t it! And if my son does not marry till he is twenty-eight, what then?
DOCTOR. Then, that he may run the least risk, you will tell him to go to the licensed dealers—
GEORGE. With a guarantee from the government.
DOCTOR. And to choose them a little stale.
GEORGE. Why so?
