You little devil. I’m only afraid of one thing.
GWEN: What?
COLIN: You’ll make me serious. Then we shall all starve.
GWEN: I shouldn’t care.
COLIN: I should.
JOHN: Well. I’ve had my telegram.
COLIN: What telegram?
JOHN: My man’s bought my piano and every other damned thing in the
whole attic. So we’re in the soup, now, Gwen, both of us!
GWEN: Yes.
JOHN: Good luck to you. (_He stretches out his hand._)
GWEN (_taking it_): Thanks. And good luck to you.
JOHN: By God, life’s _good_, isn’t it?
COLIN: There’s someone knocking at the door.
JOHN: See who it is.
[_COLIN goes and opens the door._
COLIN: It’s Rosie.
GWEN: Rosie!... I’d forgotten!... (_With sudden misgiving._) John, this
isn’t going to stop us.
JOHN (_very strongly_): No. Nothing’s going to stop us now.
GWEN: But we must help her.
JOHN: _Of course we must help her_; that’s part of our job.... Rosie!
[_As he goes to the door the CURTAIN FALLS._
