Why uncle! Even you must admit that Theodore and Mary are happy.
[John is too much surprised to notice Lucy's presence.
Judge
Happy? What's that got to do with it? Marriage is a social institution. Theodore said so.... Every time a boy kisses a girl she should first inquire: "A sacrifice for society?" And if he says, "I want to gain character, sweetheart," then—"Darling, do your duty!" and he'll do it.
Lucy
Well, Theodore has certainly done his duty by society—six children!
Judge
Then society hasn't done its duty by Theodore—only one salary!
John
The more credit to him! He and Mary have sacrificed everything to their children and the Church—even health!
