Colin: Seems a bit changeable!!

Gwen: Yes.

Colin (throwing away his cigarette, he starts again with the same suddenness of tone): Gwen!... What would you say if I asked you to marry me?

Gwen: ... are you being serious?

Colin: Yes.

[He comes quickly to her where she is sitting; he speaks crisply.

I want to kneel down, but I can’t. Stand up.

[She does. They are standing close ... they remain so for a moment, and then kiss.

Colin: Then it’s all right?

Gwen: Yes.
