It was Mr.Mr. Bliss asked me down, and he hasn’t paid any attention to me at all. I went into his study soon after I arrived yesterday, and he said, “Who the hell are you?”
Sandy
Didn’t he remember?
Jackie
He did afterwards; then he brought me down to tea and left me.
Sandy
Are you really engaged to Simon?
Jackie
Bursting into tears again.
Oh, no—I hope not!
Sandy
You were, last night.
Jackie
So were you—to Sorel.
Sandy
Not properly. We talked it over.
Jackie
I don’t know what happened to me. I was in the garden with Simon, and he was being awfully sweet, and then he suddenly kissed me, and rushed into the house and said we were engaged—and that hateful Judith asked me to make him happy!
Sandy
That’s exactly what happened to me and Sorel. Judith gave us to one another before we knew where we were.
