Why not, Bella? Why not?
TED MORRIS.
What, Cherry going to get married?
JACK MEDBURY.
Good luck to you, my boy. Good luck to you. Quite right. (He says this heartily and goes on laughing and talking to Theodore.)
MRS. BEN DIXON.
Who's the bride?
ADAM CHERRY.
The—the niece, Mrs. Ben Dixon, of a—of a most charming aunt. The sister of a brave, clever young friend of mine—the sweetest lady in the land—Miss Nelly Morris.
(Nelly has re-entered and stands L. near door. Jack gives a half-suppressed cry of "Nell!" and a start. No one notices this but Theodore, but he notices it very clearly.)
