Yes, I know, I know.
Lady Frederick.
And believe me, when two young things love one another it's better to let them marry. Love is so very rare in this world. One really ought to make the most of it when it's there.
Admiral.
I'm very sorry, but I've made up my mind.
Lady Frederick.
Ah, but won't you alter it—like Nelson. Don't be hard on Rose. She's really in love with Gerald. Do give them a chance. Won't you? Ah, do—there's a dear.
Admiral.
I don't want to hurt your feelings, but Sir Gerald is about the most ineligible young man that I've ever come across.
Lady Frederick.
