JUNO. Not at all. You can get a divorce.

MRS. LUNN. What for?

JUNO. For his misconduct with my wife.

GREGORY [deeply indignant] How dare you, sir, asperse the
character of that sweet lady? a lady whom I have taken under my
protection.

JUNO. Protection!

MRS. JUNO [returning hastily] Really you must be more careful
what you say about me, Mr. Lunn.

JUNO. My precious! [He embraces her]. Pardon this betrayal of my
feeling; but I've not seen my wife for several weeks; and she is
very dear to me.

GREGORY. I call this cheek. Who is making love to his own wife
before people now, pray?

MRS. LUNN. Won't you introduce me to your wife, Mr. Juno?

MRS. JUNO. How do you do? [They shake hands; and Mrs. Juno sits
down beside Mrs. Lunn, on her left].

MRS. LUNN. I'm so glad to find you do credit to Gregory's taste.
I'm naturally rather particular about the women he falls in love
