Nellie.
What on earth made you think of sending for it?
Freddie.
[Brazenly.] I thought it was the only way to win you.
Nellie.
Have you had it long?
Freddie.
It only arrived this morning. Look here, why shouldn’t we bolt? You don’t care a straw for Gerald, and you do care for me.
Nellie.
It would break his heart. I couldn’t, I couldn’t! Besides, where are we to bolt to? I daren’t. Mamma would never forgive me.
