Virginia. Not you. Take another look at yourself if you're afraid about
anything.
Zack (_looking_). I'm pretty near good-looking enough to chance it. Dang
it, I will chance it, and all--No. No. I'm not quite bold enough for
that.
Virginia (_holding glass in front of him_). Look again.
Zack. Well, you can't eat me anyhow. Jenny, I've got a heap of love
for you. I've loved you since the day I met you, and I've been the
miserablest chap on earth because of what's been happening since. Things
always do go wrong with me, and they've been going the wrongest road
they could, but, by gum, there's just a chance to put them right this
time, and I'll dash at it if I'm hanged for it. Jenny it's the most
bowdacious thing to come from me to you, but I'm wrought up to point and
I've got to speak or bust. Will you have me, lass?
Virginia. Kiss me, Zack.
Zack. But--but--do you mean to say you'll----
Virginia. You great baby.
Zack (_embracing her_). Eh, I could hug you till you broke. Love? Love's
the finest state of man. I'm--I'm---- No. There aren't words made
for this. Its too tremendous big for words. Jenny, it's true? You're
not--You're not just playing with me.
Virginia. No. It's true. Oh, Zack!
Zack. Jenny! (_Kiss._)
CURTAIN.
