Smith. (Re-entering) Oh, Rod—(Seeing Mary) I beg your pardon.
Rodney. That’s all right—you needn’t go, Mary. Mr. Smith, this is the future Mrs. Martin.
Smith. (Crosses to Mary) You don’t say so? Well, well, a thousand congratulations!
Rodney. I suppose you and father had your laugh?
Smith. No, I didn’t tell him.
Rodney. Thanks for that, anyhow.
Smith. Of course, it sounded funny to me at first, but when I thought things over, after all, why shouldn’t you be a success in business?
Rodney. (Amazed) What?
Smith. You have been in everything else you’ve tried.
Rodney. Yes, yes, certainly—sure.
