Evelyn. Still, I'm sure mother wouldn't approve.
Cecil. And you say Mrs. Rivers isn't stupid!
Evelyn [laughing]. I expect most people would agree with her. Most people would say you oughtn't to have spoken to a girl you didn't know like that.
Cecil. Oh, come, I only asked my way back to the inn.
Evelyn. There was no harm in asking your way, of course. But then we began talking of other things. And then we sat down under this tree. And we've sat under this tree every afternoon since. And that was a week ago.
Cecil. Well, it's such an awfully jolly tree.
Evelyn. I don't know what mother would say if she heard of it!
Cecil. Would it be something unpleasant?
Evelyn [ruefully]. I'm afraid it would.
Cecil. How fortunate you don't know it then.
