ELIZABETH. What? TEDDIE. Nothing. I just like to say Elizabeth. ELIZABETH. You fool! TEDDIE. I say, can you shoot? ELIZABETH. No. TEDDIE. I'll teach you. You don't know how ripping it is to start out from your camp at dawn and travel through the jungle. And you're so tired at night and the sky's all starry. It's a fair treat. Of course I didn't want to say anything about all that till you'd decided. I'd made up my mind to be absolutely practical. ELIZABETH. [_Chaffing him._] The only practical thing you said was that love is the only thing that really matters. TEDDIE. [_Happily._] Pull the other leg next time, will you? I should have to have one longer than the other. ELIZABETH. Isn't it fun being in love with some one who's in love with you? TEDDIE. I say, I think I'd better clear out at once, don't you? It seems rather rotten to stay on in--in this house. ELIZABETH. You can't go to-night. There's no train. TEDDIE. I'll go to-morrow. I'll wait in London till you're ready to join me. ELIZABETH. I'm not going to leave a note on the pincushion like Lady Kitty, you know. I'm going to tell Arnold. TEDDIE. Are you? Don't you think there'll be an awful bother? ELIZABETH. I must face it. I should hate to be sly and deceitful. TEDDIE. Well, then, let's face it together. ELIZABETH. No, I'll talk to Arnold by myself. TEDDIE. You won't let anyone influence you? ELIZABETH. No. [_He holds out his hand and she takes it. They look into one another's eyes with grave, almost solemn affection. There is the sound outside of a car driving up._ ELIZABETH. There's the car. Arnold's come back. I must go and bathe my eyes. I don't want them to see I've been crying. TEDDIE. All right. [_As she is going._] Elizabeth. ELIZABETH. [_Stopping._] What? TEDDIE. Bless you. ELIZABETH. [_Affectionately._] Idiot! [_She goes out of the door and TEDDIE through the French window into the garden. For an instant the room is empty. ARNOLD comes in. He sits down and takes some papers out of his despatch-case. LADY KITTY enters. He gets up._ LADY KITTY. I saw you come in. Oh, my dear, don't get up. There's no reason why you should be so dreadfully polite to me. ARNOLD. I've just rung for a cup of tea. LADY KITTY. Perhaps we shall have the chance of a little talk. We don't seem to have had five minutes by ourselves. I want to make your acquaintance, you know. ARNOLD. I should like you to know that it's not by my wish that my father is here. LADY KITTY. But I'm so interested to see him. ARNOLD. I was afraid that you and Lord Porteous must find it embarrassing. LADY KITTY. Oh, no. Hughie was his greatest friend. They were at Eton and Oxford together. I think your father has improved so much since I saw him last. He wasn't good-looking as a young man, but now he's quite handsome. [_The FOOTMAN brings in a tray on which are tea-things._ LADY KITTY. Shall I pour it out for you? ARNOLD. Thank you very much. LADY KITTY. Do you take sugar?
