I didn't want to make him restless. I knew he'd be mad to go to Paris. I thought it much better not to say anything till it was settled.

Arthur.

D'you think he's mad to go to Paris?

Anne.

[Fencing with him.] Any young man would be.

Arthur.

I wonder if he'd be very much disappointed if I made other arrangements.

Anne.

What do you mean, Arthur? You wouldn't prevent him from going when I've done everything in the world to get him away.

Arthur.
