Your aunt and uncle have just discovered each other up at the house, and they have arranged for you all to take dinner together tonight, and then go to a ten-day house-party at Mr. Egerton's place on Long Island. (Grimly) The reason of all this will be plain to you. They want you two to get married.<br><br>GEORGE. Then we're done for! We'll have to get married now whether we want to or not!<br><br>HELEN. What! Just to please them? I shan't do it!<br><br>GEORGE. (gloomily) You don't know my Aunt Maria.<br><br>HELEN. And Tubby will try to bully me, I suppose.
