Sir W.: Very well, Flo, as you wish. You always know best. (They exchange smiles.)
Lady Flo (to Jem): Kitty will take me to my room. So I leave my better half in your good company. (Exit with Kitty.)
Sir W.: I can't help regretting I came here, old fellow. It was your aunt's idea. I made objections. But she insisted that you'd both be glad enough to have a little interruption in your honeymoon.
Jem: She never said a truer word.
Sir W.: Then the honeymoon is not so great a success, after all?
Jem: To tell the truth, it's all a ghastly failure!
Sir W.: Poor boy! Believe me, I'm awfully sorry for you. (Puts his hand on Jem's shoulder.)
Jem: I'm awfully glad you're sorry.
Sir W.: I pity you from my heart.
Jem: Thanks very much.
