Mabel

[Springing up.] Go away, you horror!

John

Don't be silly. I shall kiss you if I want to.

[She laughing, walks round the sofa while he pursues her.

Mabel

I wish you'd treat life more seriously.

John

I wish you wouldn't wear such prominent hats.

Mabel

[As he puts his arm round her waist.] John, some body'll see us.

John

Mabel, I command you to let yourself be kissed.

Mabel

How much will you give me?

John

Sixpence.

Mabel

[Slipping away from him.] I can't do it for less than half-a-crown.

John

[Laughing.] I'll give you two shillings.

Mabel

[Coaxing.] Make it two-and-three.

    [He kisses her.

John

Now come and sit down quietly.

Mabel

[Sitting down by his side.] John, you mustn't make love to me. It would look so odd if they came in.

John

After all, I am your husband.

Mabel

That's just it. If you wanted to make love to me you ought to have married somebody else. [He puts his arm round her waist.] John, don't, I'm sure they'll come in.

John

I don't care if they do.

Mabel

[Sighing.] John, you do love me?

John

Yes.

Mabel

And you won't ever care for anybody else?

John

No.

Mabel

[In the same tone.] And you will give me that two-and-threepence, won't you?

John

Mabel, it was only two shillings.

Mabel

Oh, you cheat!

John

[Getting up.] I'm going out on the balcony. I'm passionately devoted to chimney-pots.
