Mr. Freeman: Oh, you have.
Gwen: Yes. I’ve told him I won’t marry him yet. But I’ve told him I’ll go away with him; and we can get married later; when I know what I’m doing; if we want to.
Mr. Freeman (blankly): You told him you’d go away with him!
Gwen: Yes.
Mr. Freeman: I don’t understand! What d’you mean?
Gwen: What I said: I told him I’d go away with him. I’ll marry him afterwards when I’m sure.
John (almost to himself): Gwen! That’s good!
Mr. Freeman (turning fiercely on him): Good!!! What the devil do you mean—good?!!! Really, I don’t know whether I’m on my head or my heels! (To Colin.) What have you got to do with this?
Colin (taken aback): Me?
Mr. Freeman: Is this the result of six dinners with you?
