AUSTIN. Why not. (Looking at Jack.) You told me my consent was all you wanted.
MRS. METHERELL (eyeing Jack). Did you?
JACK. No. I said I'd want yours too.
AUSTIN. Of course. Well, you've got my consent now, freely, gladly given.
JACK. Yes, I wanted that.
AUSTIN. Isn't that everything?
ELSIE. No. I've been thinking.
AUSTIN. I thought you knew your own mind, Elsie.
ELSIE. I didn't know Mrs. Metherell. Perhaps I didn't know Jack.
AUSTIN (still with confidence). There's been some lovers' tiff between you. Come, Elsie, I divided you this afternoon. Let me unite you now. What is the difficulty? I'm sure it's just a temporary trifle.
