Clara. Why, Joan, what has happened?
Joan. All has happened. But stop him going to the farmer to talk about the—the wedding and the money.
Clara. The money?
Joan. The income which he thinks I have.
Clara. I’ll run, but all this time I’ve been keeping Master Luke Jenner quiet in the parlour.
Joan. O what does he want now?
Clara. Much the same as the other one wanted.
Joan. Must I see him?
Clara. Yes, indeed he will wait no longer for his answer. He’s at boiling point already.
Joan. Then send him in. But do you run quickly, Miss Clara, and keep Miles Hooper from the farmer.
