Gerald! say Gerald!
MARGERY.
It's no use. I can't!
GERALD.
Say you will marry me!
MARGERY.
If you will let me call you "Mr. Gerald."
[_Embrace._
COLONEL [_off, opens door L._].
Margery! where are you?
_Re-enter L., just as MARGERY is withdrawing from GERALD'S arms, stands thunderstruck. Exit MARGERY, L._
GERALD.
It's all right, uncle.
COLONEL.
All right, you call it? Look here, you young cub! None of your higher morality with Margery!
GERALD.
I tell you, it's all right. Margery's going to be your niece--my wife.
COLONEL.
Margery, your wife! [_Slight pause._] You're a d.a.m.ned lucky dog!
GERALD.
That I am, uncle!
COLONEL.
'Gad, sir, you're a man; and I thought you were a monkey. I congratulate you!
GERALD [_shaking hands_].
_You_ don't object then?
COLONEL.
I thought a Cazenove would come right side up.
GERALD.
But what will aunt say?
COLONEL [_suddenly collapses_].
I was forgetting Caroline!
GERALD.
She must be told.
COLONEL.
But cautiously. Courage! I'll back you up!
GERALD.
I'll tell her now!
COLONEL.
Stay! Don't do anything rash! I wouldn't risk a private interview.
Safety in numbers.
GERALD.
I will tell them all!
COLONEL.
Sht! what a bomb-sh.e.l.l! Courage!
GERALD.
Courage, yourself! You're shaking all over.
COLONEL.
No matter. I'll stand by you!
LADY WARGRAVE [_opening door, L._].
Gerald!
COLONEL.
