[Jean and Rex alone, they look at each other, not very loverlike.

Jean

[impulsively]

You weren't in love with me yesterday. You aren't now. You would get out of it if you honorably could. But you honorably can't! So you have spoken to John; you are going to see it through, because you're a good sport.... I admire you for that, Rex, too much to hold you to it. You are released.

Rex

[amazed]

Why—why—you—you don't suppose I want to be released?

Jean

Well, I do!... Yesterday I let you propose to me when I cared for some one else. That's not fair to you, to me, to him!

Rex
