Philip. Well, you have done so most effectually. Tell me, does Lady Carlyon know of our engagement?
Rose. No, not yet. I never saw her till to-day, and I didn’t like to be so confidential.
Philip. (relieved) Ah!
Rose. You’re not angry with me for not having told her?
Philip. Not at all. We will surprise her.
Rose. Shall we?
Philip. To-night we will pretend we are strangers.
Rose. But I shall pretend very badly, I am sure.
Philip. Oh, you can keep a secret. You have shown me that.
Rose. I’ll try, at any rate.
