John: No, Gwen. Much more respectable than that. Not a trial “affair.” A trial marriage. We should have gone definitely to find out whether we were suited for life.
Frankie: That would have been all very nice for you!
John: You flatter yourself. It might have been nice for you, too!
Frankie: Supposing you’d taken me away and left me—where should I be then?
Colin (with his drink): That depends where you went to.
Gwen: Answer, John.
John: If we parted it would mean it wasn’t successful. It would be a very good thing for both of us that we weren’t tied up for life.
Frankie: Anyhow, you’d see a good deal of the world, John!
John: What do you mean?
Frankie: You’d always be going away with different people all over the place.
