Why didn't you tell me that Hilda was fond of Basil! Does he like her?
Mabel.
I don't know. I expect that's precisely what she's asking him.
John.
Mabel, do you mean to say you brought me here, an inoffensive, harmless creature, for your sister to propose to a pal of mine? It's an outrage.
Mabel.
She's doing nothing of the sort.
John.
You needn't look indignant. You can't deny that you proposed to me.
Mabel.
