Young Princess. When I see you together, it always seems to me that he has either just proposed or is just going to propose.
Betsy. Yes, I don't suppose it can be avoided. I shall have to go through with it. And it is so unpleasant!

Betsy. Cessez, les [gens!] [16]
[YOUNG PRINCESS sits down, talking in whispers. GREGORY puts on her overshoes.
Young Princess. Well then, good-bye till this evening.
