I have not ever in my life seen a young lady who did make me feel for her the strange attraction that I feel for you, Rosie. I am jealous of this Mr. Tempenny.
ROSALINE.
Jealous! Do you mean you are in love with me? (Aside.) Oh, my goodness, what a joke!
HENRICH SCHERCL.
And if I did, would you laugh at me? Supposing I was to say to you—"Rosie, I would like to marry you," what would you answer?
ROSALINE.
Say it, and see. (Aside.) He's in earnest. I do believe.
HENRICH SCHERCL.
