Millie. I never asked you to, Andrew.
Andrew. I’ve brought you a nosegay of flowers, Mill. They be rare blossoms with grand names what I can’t recollect to all of them.
[Millie takes the nosegay, looks at it for an instant, and then lets it fall.
Millie. I have no liking for flowers this day, Andrew.
Andrew. O Millie, and is it so as you and me are going to our marriage?
Millie. Yes, Andrew. ’Tis so. I never said it could be different. I have no heart to give you. My love was given long ago to another. And that other has forgotten me by now.
Andrew. O Millie, you shall forget him too when once you are wed to me, I promise you.
Millie. ’Tis beyond the power of you or any man to make me do that, Andrew.
Andrew. Millie, what’s the good of we two going on to church one with t’other?
Millie. There’s no good at all, Andrew.
