Поля
[Alec and Dick stroll in from the garden.
Lucy
Alec, Alec, I want you! Thank God, you've come!
Alec
[Going to her quickly.] What is it?
Lucy
Alec, you must tell them now about you and me.
[Alec looks at Lucy for a moment, and then turns to Lady Kelsey.
Alec
I think perhaps we ought to have told you before, Lady Kelsey. But we wanted to enjoy our little secret by ourselves.
Lady Kelsey
I'm afraid to understand.
Alec
I have asked Lucy to be my wife, and she…
Lucy
[Interrupting him.] She said she would be honoured and deeply grateful.
Lady Kelsey
[Greatly embarrassed.] I hardly know what to say… How long have you been engaged?
Lucy
Won't you tell me you're pleased, my aunt? I know you want me to be happy.
Lady Kelsey
Of course, I want you to be happy. But I – I…
[Boulger turns on his heel and walks out.
Dick
[Offering his arm to Lady Kelsey.] Wouldn't you like to go back to the drawing-room?
[She allows herself to be led away, helplessly. Alec and Lucy are left alone.
Alec
[With a smile.] I don't think our announcement has been received with enthusiasm.
Lucy
You're not angry with me, Alec?
Alec
Of course not. Everything you do is right and charming.
Lucy
I shall really think I'm a wonderful person if I've taught you to pay compliments.
Alec
I'm so glad to be alone with you. Now, at all events, people will have the sense to leave us by ourselves.
Lucy
[Passionately.] I want your love. I want your love so badly.
Alec
[Taking her in his arms.] My darling!
Lucy
[Clinging to him.] The moment I'm with you I feel so confident and happy.
Alec
Only when you're with me? [Lucy looks at him for an instant. He repeats the question in a caressing voice.] Only when you're with me, darling?
Lucy
Why d'you think I made you tell them we were engaged?
Alec
You took me by surprise.
Lucy
I had to tell them. I couldn't keep it back. They made me suffer so dreadfully.
