Amy O'Connell. No.
Trebell. When will you, then?
Amy O'Connell. When I can't help myself ... if that time ever comes.
Trebell. [Accepting the postponement in a business-like spirit.] Well ... I'm an impatient man.
Amy O'Connell. [Confessing engagingly.] I made up my mind to bring you within arms' length of me when we'd met at Lady Percival's. Do you remember? [His face shows no sign of it.] It was the day after your speech on the Budget.
Trebell. Then I remember. But I haven't observed the process.
Amy O'Connell. [Subtly.] Your sister grew to like me very soon. That's all the cunning there has been.
Trebell. The rest is just mutual attraction?
Amy O'Connell. And opportunities.
Trebell. Such as this.
