THE AGENT
Your aunt and uncle have just discovered each other up at the house, and they have arranged for you all to take dinner together to-night, and then go to a ten-day house-party at Mr. Egerton's place on Long Island. (Grimly) The reason of all this will be plain to you. They want you two to get married.
GEORGE
Then we're done for! We'll have to get married now whether we want to or not!
HELEN
What! Just to please them? I shan't do it!
GEORGE (gloomily)
You don't know my Aunt Maria.
HELEN
And Tubby will try to bully me, I suppose. But I won't do it—no matter what he says!
