LADY WARGRAVE [smiling].
A chronic invalid; while this old transgressor who has denied himself nothing [Colonel grins], and committed every sin in the Decalogue [Colonel chuckles], is as hale and as hearty as I am infirm.
COLONEL.
Never felt better, never!
LADY WARGRAVE.

COLONEL.
Caroline!
LADY WARGRAVE.
You belong to the future, and the future belongs to you.
