OCEANA. [Gravely.] Freddy, come sit down here. Be rational now.
FREDDY. Yes.
[He sits watching her, in a kind of daze.]
OCEANA. In the first place, Freddy... you must understand, it isn't the first time this has happened to me.
FREDDY. No, I suppose not.
OCEANA. The officers of the ships always used to fall in love with me. There were three on this last steamer.
FREDDY. Yes.
OCEANA. You say to marry you. But it's difficult for me to imagine myself marrying any man, no matter how much I loved him. One has to make so many promises, you know.
FREDDY. How do you mean?
OCEANA. You have to "love, honor and obey."
