Boulger.
The other day I asked you again to marry me, just before Alec Mackenzie came back.
Lucy.
It was very charming of you. You mustn't think that because I laugh at you a little I'm not grateful for your affection.
Boulger.
Except for that letter in this morning's Times, I should never have dared to say anything to you again. But that changes everything.
Lucy.
I don't understand what you mean.
Boulger.
[After a little pause.] I ask you again if you'll be my wife? When Alec Mackenzie came back I understood why you were so indifferent to me, but you can't marry him now.
