Nat. You understand what I mean.
Ariel (wearily). Haven’t we been all over this before?
Nat. We have several times, and we are going over it again and again. I have thought of you all this home trip, little dreaming that I was coming straight to you. I thought I should have to wait until summer before I saw you again. Now that I haven’t got to wait I don’t intend to lose one minute.
Ariel (impatiently). I shouldn’t say you did.
Nat. There is no one in my way. I’ll make you care for me.
Ariel (angrily). Will you, indeed? Do you expect to do it by yourself? I guess you will have to call for help.
Nat. Your father will give me all the help I need.
Ariel. This is something he cares nothing about.
Nat (growing angry). You know better than that.
Ariel. Oh, what’s the use? We always quarrel. Why start it again?
