MAGGIE. It's church we're going to, not the dentist's.
WILLIE. I know. You get rid of summat at dentist's, but it's taking summat on to go to church with a wench, and the Lord knows what.
MAGGIE. Sithee, Will, I've a respect for church. Yon's not the place for lies. The parson's going to ask you will you have me and you'll either answer truthfully or not at all. If you're not willing, just say so now, and—
WILLIE. I'll tell him "yea".
MAGGIE. And truthfully?
WILLIE. Yes, Maggie. I'm resigned. You're growing on me, lass. I'll toe the line with you.
(ALICE and VICKEY enter R. in their Sunday clothes—the same at which HOBSON grew indignant in Act I. MAGGIE takes WILLIE across to L.)
ALICE. We're ready, Maggie.
MAGGIE. And time you were. It's not your weddings that you're dressing for. (By trap.) Come up, Tubby, and keep an eye on things.
VICKEY. (to WILL). Will, have you got the ring?
