DICK. Yes, and that's why we're going out there to put an end to it.
GEORGIANA. Why need _you_?
DICK. Some one must, I as well as another; in fact, just now, I _better_
than any other.
GEORGIANA. Why _you_ better?
DICK. Because I want to go--I've got a restless fit, Georgiana--and want
to get away from here--I want to get away from everybody.
GEORGIANA. From _me_?
DICK. Yes, even from _you_!
GEORGIANA. [_Hurt._] Thank you.
DICK. I should think your woman's instinct would teach you why.
GEORGIANA. Well, it doesn't! and I really should be very much obliged
to you if you would help my woman's instinct out.
DICK. Of course it's all right what you're going to do, only--well, I
don't want to be here to see it.
GEORGIANA. But, Dick, I'm perfectly happy in what I'm doing.
DICK. Of course! but that doesn't make it any the pleasanter for me.
[_Rises._] Good-by.
GEORGIANA. [_Rising._] And that's all, just good-by?
DICK. No, I wish you all kinds of happiness in the future and the
happiest marriage in the world.
GEORGIANA. Oh, thank you very much.
DICK. [_With great effort._] I wish you everything that's good, Georgy,
old girl!
GEORGIANA.
