Charlie (drawing his moustache over the corners of his lips). Of adoring a girl whose theories corresponded with my own? Yes.
Dora (with tears in her eyes). Oh! You mean you would not have loved me if your courtship had involved marriage?
Charlie. I can't say. We both abhor to be handicapped by legalities, don't we? We both enjoy the same rights of independence——
Dora (rising angrily). Then, if loving me had necessitated the surrender of your liberty you could not have done it?
Charlie (earnestly). Could you?
Dora (sobbing). Could I? I would have loved you always.
Charlie (taking her in his arms). I would have loved you in the same way.
Dora. Not if I had wanted to marry you?
Charlie. I won't say. You never put me to the test.
Dora (excitedly). But if I should? Oh, Charlie—tell me, would you—won't you—marry me?
