names, Mr. Juno. What do you call your own conduct?

JUNO [rising] I tell you I have admitted--

GREGORY { } What's the good of keeping on at that?
MRS. JUNO { together } Oh, not that again, please.
MRS. LUNN { } Tops: I'll scream if you say that again.

JUNO. Oh, well, if you won't listen to me--! [He sits down
again].

MRS. JUNO. What is the position now exactly? [Mrs. Lunn shrugs
her shoulders and gives up the conundrum. Gregory looks at Juno.
Juno turns away his head huffily]. I mean, what are we going to
do?

MRS. LUNN. What would you advise, Mr. Juno?

JUNO. I should advise you to divorce your husband.

MRS. LUNN. Do you want me to drag your wife into court and
disgrace her?

JUNO. No: I forgot that. Excuse me; but for the moment I thought
I was married to you.

GREGORY. I think we had better let bygones be bygones. [To Mrs.
Juno, very tenderly] You will forgive me, won't you? Why should
you let a moment's forgetfulness embitter all our future life?
