MITCHENER. Poor wretch; the day after civil rights are conceded to the army he and Chubbs-Jenkinson will be found incapable of maintaining discipline. They will be sacked and replaced by really capable men. Mrs. Farrell: as we are engaged, and I am anxious to do the correct thing in every way, I am quite willing to kiss you if you wish it. MRS. FARRELL. Youd only feel like a fool; and so would I. MITCHENER. You are really the most sensible woman. Ive made an extremely wise choice. LADY CORINTHIA (To Balsquith). You may kiss my hand, if you wish. BALSQUITH (cautiously). I think we had better not commit ourselves too far. If I might carry your parasol, that would quite satisfy me. Let us change a subject which threatens to become embarrassing. (To Mitchener.) The moral of the occasion for you, Mitchener, appears to be that youve got to give up treating soldiers as if they were schoolboys. MITCHENER. The moral for you, Balsquith, is that youve got to give up treating women as if they were angels. Ha ha! MRS. FARRELL. Its a mercy youve found one another out at last. That's enough now. CURTAIN
