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.
