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.

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.
