[Laughing.] And how do you propose to stop me if I make up my mind that I'm going to accept Charlie?
Fouldes.
Well, he's not proposed yet, has he?
Lady Frederick.
Not yet, but I've had to use every trick and device I can think of to prevent him.
Fouldes.
Look here, I'm going to play this game with my cards on the table.
Lady Frederick.
Then I shall be on my guard. You're never so dangerous as when you pretend to be frank.
