HAMILTON
Angelica.
Oh, because you've been away, of course. Well, I'm very sorry, but I think he looks fat and well.
Betsy.
I ought not to have left him.
Angelica.
You're terribly in love, aren't you?
[Coming tip to ladder.
Betsy.
I am, Angelica, and I can't get over it. You know Alexander is the most wonderful man in the world.
Angelica.
[Back to c.] Is he? What about my husband?
Betsy.
Oh, well, John Church is a dear old thing, but you couldn't possibly be terribly in love with him, could you? Besides he's an Englishman.
Angelica.
What do you mean, Betsy Hamilton? I am terribly in love with him.
Betsy.
I know you are, dear, but you couldn't possibly love John as I love Alexander.
Angelica.
And why not?
Betsy.
Well, he's a dear, but he has no brains—now has he?
