Have you? In that case I can only congratulate myself that I’m the champion amateur boxer in Pomerania.

Serlo.

That complicates matters a bit, don’t it?

Jack Straw.

Upon my soul, I’ve never made a proposal of marriage under such embarrassing circumstances. [To Ethel.] Now, my dear, don’t be unreasonable. You practically refused me yesterday because I was an Archduke. You’re not going to refuse me now because I’m nobody in particular?

Ethel.

[Frigidly.] And can you give me any reason why I should accept you?

Jack Straw.

Well, it may have escaped your notice, but there’s the very good reason that you’re just as much in love with me as I am with you.

Ethel.
