Mrs. Parker-Jennings.
I wish I ’adn’t been such a fool as to ask Serlo to stay here. And it’s just like that aggravating girl. When I wanted Ethel to marry him, she wouldn’t so much as look at him, and now that she can have some one else for the asking, she’s with ’im all day.
Vincent.
Well, I’m for the bird in the hand, mater. The Archduke don’t look much like a marrying man to me.
Mrs. Parker-Jennings.
Don’t you worry about that, my dear. Every man’s a marrying man when he’s got a chance of a pretty girl with ’alf a million of money.
Parker-Jennings.
Here she is.
Ethel comes in with Lord Serlo.
Ethel.
