Mereston.
When I came here, I had a thousand things to say to you, but you've driven them all out of my head. Won't you give me an answer now?
Lady Frederick.
What to?
Mereston.
You've not forgotten that I asked you to marry me?
Lady Frederick.
No, but you asked me under very peculiar circumstances. I wonder if you can repeat the offer now in cold blood?
Mereston.
Of course. What a cad you must think me!
