Only I think you might have been a
little more romantic about your proposal.
TOMMY (anxious). I say, do you--
LETTY. Yes. Strictly speaking, I don't think anybody ought to
propose with a niblick in his hand.
TOMMY. It just sort of came then. Of course I ought to have put it
down.
LETTY. You dear! ... "Letting his niblick go for a moment, Mr. T.
Todd went on as follows: 'Letitia, my beloved, many moons have waxed
and waned since first I cast eyes of love upon thee. An absence of
ducats, coupled with the necessity of getting my handicap down to

aged uncle--'"
TOMMY (lovingly). I say, you do pull my leg. Go on doing it always,
won't you?
LETTY. Always, Tommy. We're going to have fun, always.
TOMMY. I'm awfully glad we got engaged down here.
LETTY. We've had lovely times here, haven't we?
TOMMY. I wonder what Gerald will say. A bit of a surprise for him. I
say, it would be rather fun if we had a double wedding. You and I,
and Gerald and Pamela.
LETTY (getting up in pretended indignation). Certainly not!
TOMMY (following her). I say, what's the matter?
LETTY (waving him back). Go away. Unhand me villain.
TOMMY. I say, what's up?
LETTY. I want a wedding of my own. I've never been married before,
and perhaps I shall never be married again, and I'm going to have a
wedding all to myself.
