Of course!... I’ll just go up and see your father.

Catherine.

He will be so pleased. I’ll take you up.

Perigal.

No, no, no, no! I couldn’t hear of it. I can easily find my way.

Colby.

I’ll do my best to entertain you while Mr. Perigal is gone. [Mr. Perigal leaves them, and Colby goes up to her gaily.] I jumped for joy when he sent me a note asking me to call for him here.

Catherine.

[Smiling.] You might have come of your own accord.

Colby.
