Miss Georgiana, take off that nose and let me ask you something.
GEORGIANA. Not at all, my dear Sammy. I know what it is you want to ask
me! I'm much obliged and I won't.
COAST. You won't marry me!
GEORGIANA. No!
COAST. Why not?
GEORGIANA. Because I don't love you.
COAST. Who do you love?
GEORGIANA. That's not your business!
COAST. Do you love any one?
GEORGIANA. [_After a moment's hesitation, lies._] No!
COAST. [_With insinuation._] Why don't you get Dick Coleman to help
Steven?
GEORGIANA. [_Taking off the nose._] Why do you ask me that now in that
way?
COAST. Information!
GEORGIANA. Dick's a lawyer. What could he do for Steven?
COAST. That's not the information I wanted.
GEORGIANA. But it's all the information you'll get!
[_Gets off the hobby horse and comes down a little._
COAST. [_Follows her._] Georgiana, marry me, and I'll look after Steven
all the rest of his life.
GEORGIANA. Sammy, you don't want me to marry you if I don't love you.
COAST. Yes, I do. Listen! I'd risk your not loving me; there's nothing
on God's earth I wouldn't do to make you love me.
GEORGIANA.
