Nor. That’s a pity. I thought perhaps you were removable.
Kate. What if I were?
Nor. I should like to remove you, that’s all.
Kate. I thought you were a confirmed bachelor?
Nor. That’s just it. That’s what makes it so jolly, I being a confirmed bachelor, and you being a confirmed old maid——
Kate. Old maid?
Nor. I mean, you will be an old maid—in time.
Kate. You didn’t say so.
Nor. But I meant, in time. So there’s no danger. We can do what we like.
Kate. Of course, we can do what we like.
