Jenny.

I'm so glad. Oh, I don't know what I should do if you didn't love me. If you hadn't been kind to me I should have thrown myself in the river.

Basil.

What nonsense you talk.

Jenny.

I mean it.

[He passes his hand affectionately over her hair.

Jenny.

Oh, you are so good, Basil. I'm so proud of you. I shall be so proud to be your wife.

Basil.
