PARNELL. Don't we already?
KATHARINE. Yes, if only—these other things didn't interfere. But I promised; so they must.
PARNELL. My dear, when they have quite broken me—they will in time—then
I'll come.
KATHARINE. You promise to go right away?
PARNELL. I promise, sweetheart.
(Moving toward each other they are about to embrace, when the door opens, and the Servant enters carrying a card upon a tray.)
SERVANT. If you please, sir.
(Parnell takes the card; there is a pause while he looks at the name)
PARNELL. Will you say I am engaged.
(The Servant goes. Parnell hands the card to his wife.)
