DESCRIPTION:

VENNEMA. I feel as if I have never been as happy as this before. VAN ELST. It will help your wife to get well. She hasn't been very well these last few weeks. VENNEMA. Yes, I know it will do her heaps of good. I am quite happy. VAN ELST. Don't excite your wife unnecessarily to-night. Any shock may be too much for her. VENNEMA. Yes, we will postpone our rejoicing until to-morrow. You must come to-morrow, but alone. Bring your wife Sunday evening. The process of acclamation will be slow, of course. There is a train about six, I believe. VAN ELST. Yes, at five forty-five. We have an hour yet. VENNEMA. The sooner the better. She must have a change at first. I thought it mightn't be a bad idea if we paid my brother a visit at Frezier. It might do her a lot of good. Yes, I think what she needs is a change of scene. VAN ELST. If I were you I would stay home the first week. VENNEMA. We'll attend to that later. It is terrible when you think of the condition she was in when we arrived. VAN ELST. The maid said that it happened quite often, too. VENNEMA. What do you think he will do when he learns that she is gone? VAN ELST. If he is anything of a man, if he is a man of honor, then he will stay away. If not, there is the law. But I believe it can be arranged although she loves him very much. VENNEMA. Let's not speak of it any more. She will change slowly, and so the past will be forgotten.
