- Mary Hamilton. I don't think that you've met her.
- I think that I did meet her once, some time ago, at a dance. Isn't she very pretty?
- She's beautiful. (He looks round the room and raises his hand) waiter!
(The WAITER comes across the room.)
- No, no, Colin. Truly, I don't want another one. I shall be drunk.
- Oh! do have one-just to please me.
- Well, only a very small one.
- Two more drinks, please, waiter. The same as we had before.
- Yes, sir. (He writes the order on a piece of paper and goes away.)
- When are you going to be married?
- I'm not sure yet. Soon, I hope.
- I haven't seen it in the newspapers
- We haven't put it in the newspapers yet. No one knows about it except our two families.
- Am I the only person outside the families to know about it?
- Yes. (He laughs) Now you see why you must have another drink.
- I'm not so sure, Colin. Those drinks were quite strong. If I have another--
- Oh! Look! There's Dr. Ryland. must tell him about Mary. I've known him all my life. (Calls) Dr. Ryland!
- Is she all right, doctor? Is she all right?
- Yes yes. Don't be afraid. She was only hurt a little. She will be quite all right very soon.
- What was the matter with the man who was driving the car?
