(TOMMY rushes up and takes her in his arms. At this moment GERALD comes in by the garden door. He stops on seeing them, and then goes quickly on to the door in front of the staircase.) GERALD (as he passes them). Came in and went tactfully out again. TOMMY (as LETTY frees herself). I say, Gerald, old man. GERALD (stopping at the door, turning round and coming back in the same business-like way). Returned hopefully. TOMMY (in confusion). I say, we're engaged. GERALD (looking at them happily). Oh, hoo-ray! LETTY. Do say you're surprised. GERALD. Awfully, awfully pleased, Letty. Of course, when I saw you-- er--thinking together in a corner--By Jove, I _am_ bucked. I did hope so much. LETTY. You dear! GERALD. I feel very fatherly. Bless you, my children. TOMMY. We shall have about tuppence a year, but Letty doesn't mind that. |
