You'll be much happier. It's the best thing for both of us. I'll do all I can for you, and you can have your mother and sister to live here.
Jenny.
[With a cry of grief and passion.] But I love you, Basil.
Basil.

Jenny.
[Gives a long groan of horror and dismay.] Oh!
[They stand facing one another, when the
housemaid, Fanny, comes in.
Fanny.
