George.
[_Walking about and ironically_.] Ah yes!!!
Marie.
[_Timidly_.] George?
George.
Well?
Marie.
[_The same_.] Pardon me; but have you forgotten--?
George.
Oh, I see!
Marie.
I know it is wrong in me to annoy you at this time, when you are so
occupied with affairs of your own---- Besides, you have already refused
me once----
George.
Wha--yes, now in spite of them all, I am my own master. I am
responsible to no one. I have promised you--I shall keep my word!!!!!
Marie.
Thank you, George!
George.
