That's the parents' fault. I told you parents were preposterous people. They won't allow me to get engaged. Evelyn. Why not? Cecil . Oh, for different reasons. They say I'm not serious enough. Or that I don't work enough. Or that I haven't got enough money. Or else they simply say they "don't think I'm fitted to make their daughter happy." Anyhow, they won't sanction an engagement. They all agree about that . Your mother would be just the same.
