Admiral.

I thoroughly disapprove of the marriage, my dear, but—it's not easy to say no to Lady Frederick.

Gerald.

It's awfully good of you, Admiral, and I'll do my best to make Rose a ripping husband.

Admiral.

Not so fast, young man, not so fast. There's a condition.

Rose.

Oh, father!

Lady Frederick.

Gerald is to behave himself for a year, and then you may marry.
