ann. Make use of me.

george. Ann, you marry—when you marry—to please yourself.

ann. There's much in life that I don't like, Sally.

sarah. There's much more that you will.

george. I think we three have never talked together before.

abud, who has been in sight on the terrace for a few moments, now comes down the steps.

abud. May I make so bold, sir, as to ask how is Mrs. George Leete?

george. She was well when I last heard.

abud. Thank you, sir.

And he returns to his work.
