RUTH (with slight shudder). Yes.

GUY (holding her). I've got you now.

RUTH. Yes. For better or for worse, you've got me now.

GUY. For better than the best. I never knew till I met you what love could do to a man. Ruth, you won't remember what you fancied that I thought to-night? You won't have that against me? It really wasn't so.

RUTH. I have only room for one thought now. I remember that you're going to marry me.

GUY (lightly). In a precious few days, you'll remember that I have married you. I'm not cut out for waiting.

RUTH. I shall not keep you waiting.

(Enter Ephraim and Matthew.)

EPHRAIM. Well, that's settled now, Matt.

MATTHEW (like a beaten man). Yes, it's settled. I'll be at factory come five to-morrow morning.
