Freddie.

What do you mean?

Nellie.

You ought to have told me. I don’t think it was nice of you to get a licence without saying a word to me about it. I think it was a great liberty.

Freddie.

A licence?

Nellie.

You must know that I can’t marry you. Nothing will induce me to break my promise to Gerald. I’m very angry with you.

Freddie.

I haven’t the least idea what you’re talking about.
