Dick: O, behave! That reminds me. When are you going to get married?
Tom: Hush! Can you keep a secret?
Dick: Sure.
Tom: I’m married.
Dick: Why, that’s news to me. How long have you been married?
Tom: Six months.
Dick: Six months, eh? And I suppose you think your wife is an angel?
Tom: No, not quite—but I have hopes.
Dick: O, behave! You know in the first act—
Tom: You know when I asked my wife’s father to marry his daughter, I said: “I love your daughter and I can’t live without her.”
