JACK. No, I've never played a great game with a broken arm and come through it unscathed. I've never—oh, but it's you that's done the greatest thing for me. You've won my mother for us. That was the cloud that used to get between.
ELSIE. And made you talk of self-improvement instead of my eyes? It's only now I learn you know my eyes are good.
JACK. I have always known the beauty of your eyes.
ELSIE. You couldn't tell me about them.
JACK. Not till it was all made right with mother. I thought last night to-day would be the saddest day I've known. I had to play for Birchester and go away from Blackton and from you. And there was mother, but you were brave and took that burden from me, and I'm glad, Elsie, I'm glad of everything.
ELSIE. Even of that? (Touching his arm.)
JACK. It's brought me luck. It's brought me you, safely secure at last. I wish I had a dozen arms to break.
ELSIE (smiling). To get a dozen me's?
JACK. To suffer with for you.
ELSIE (quickly). You are suffering?
