McNaughten
I can bed her?
Jenny
Easily.
McNaughten
And marry her?
Jenny
Yes, indeed.
McNaughten
Why would I want to do that?
Jenny
You don't have any other object in view, do you?
McNaughten
The proposition is very straightforward, on my word.
(Aside to Spruce)
On my oath, this wench is a procuress.
Spruce (protesting)
I rather like her that way.
Jenny
Before your return thousands came to offer for her hand, but
McNaughten is the only one who ever earned her love.
McNaughten (astounded)
How'd you know my name?
