Evelyn [slightly appeased by his compliment, drying her eyes]. But you seem to fall in love with such a lot of people.
Cecil. I do. [Mischievously.] But ought you to throw stones at me? After all, being in love with more than one person is no worse than having more than one person in love with you. How about Reggie?
Evelyn. Reggie? [The sparrows' chatter starts again.]
Cecil [nods]. Reggie's in love with you, isn't he? So am I. And both at once too! I'm only in love with one person at a time.
Evelyn [rebelliously]. I can't help Reggie being in love with me.
Cecil. And I can't help my being in love with you. That's just my point. I knew you'd see it.
Evelyn. I don't see it at all. Reggie is quite different from you. Reggie's love is true and constant....
Cecil. Well, I'm a constant lover if you come to that.
Evelyn. You aren't. You know you aren't.
Cecil. Yes, I am. A constant lover is a lover who is constantly in love.
