ZACK. Aye. As I am I'm wrong, and I know I'm wrong. But I might not be so wrong in Canada. I've never had a chance afore, and this thing's grown on me a bit. I've wanted my chance, and it looked like I was getting it. You never know what a foreign country will do for a man, and Canada began to look a chance to me. I'd hopes of Canada. And now you say I'm not to marry Martha, and I'll never get a chance again.
MARTHA. I'd rather marry Mr. Paul, if he's willing, Zack.
VIRGINIA. He's willing.
ZACK. Maybe you're right, Martha. Paul's a bigger man than me and I mustn't be selfish. But I'd begun to be hopeful, and I own this is a blow to me. I'll go out for a breath of air.
VIRGINIA. Stay where you are, Zack. Paul and Martha are going out together.
PAUL. That's advertising it a bit, and her in her wedding-gown and all.
VIRGINIA. It's meant to advertise it, Paul. There's your hat. Give her your arm now.
MARTHA. Oh, Mr. Paul!
(They go up to door, arm in arm.)
VIRGINIA. And I'll tell you something, Paul. You're great at talking of the cost of things. A pleasant look costs no more than a sour one, so see what you can do.
