Elizabeth. Arnold, that would be monstrous.

Teddie. We could force you.

Arnold. How?

Teddie. If we went away together openly you’d have to bring an action.

Arnold. Twenty-four hours after you leave this house I shall go down to Brighton with a chorus-girl. And neither you nor I will be able to get a divorce. We’ve had enough divorces in our family. And now get out, get out, get out!

[Teddie looks uncertainly at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth. [With a little smile.] Don’t bother about me. I shall be all right.

Arnold. Get out! Get out!
