Violet.
It would be such a joy to me if I could go and tell Christina that you'd consented. It would make such a difference to me, you see. I want her to be fond of me, and I know she'd never forget if I'd been able to do her a good turn like that. Oh, Arthur, won't you?
Arthur.
Darling, I'm afraid I can't.
Violet.
I promise I'll never ask you anything again as long as I live if you'll only do this for me. It means so much to me. You don't know how much.
Arthur.
I can't, Violet.
Violet.
Won't you talk it over with Anne?
