Ch. (alarmed). Left with Belvawney? Where have they gone?
Sym. I don’t know. Very likely to get married.
Ch. Married?
Sym. Yes, before the registrar.
Ch. I’ve been sold! I see that now! Belvawney has done me! But I’m not the kind of man who stands such treatment quietly. Belvawney has found his match. Symperson, they may get married, but, they shall not be happy; I’ll be revenged on them both before they’re twenty-four hours older. She marries him because she thinks his income is secure. I’ll show her she’s wrong; I won’t blow out my brains; I’ll do worse.
Sym. What?
Ch. I’ll marry.
Sym. Marry?
Ch. Anybody. I don’t care who it is.
Sym. Will Minnie do?
