Act III

We needn’t think of that now. Let’s just think of you and me, all alone on that big boat.

We won’t be alone. The fella said it would be pretty near full.

But we don’t have to see anybody. A bride and groom don’t generally go around much⁠—they’re supposed to be so awfully in love.

I’ll want to eat once in a while.

They’ll serve us in our cabin.

It’ll be kind of close quarters. Maybe I could go in the dining-room and order you a meal sent up.

And leave me all alone? I’d be scared to death.

It’s just as dangerous in the dining-room as the bedroom. If the ship sinks, pretty near all the rooms will be under water.

Let’s not think about such things. Just think of the pleasant side. London and Paris⁠—I’m glad we’re going to Paris first, so I can get some clothes.

Clothes? What have you been buying?
