(Standing up) Now, look here, Chloe, what's behind this? (CHLOE: Behind?) You're carrying on as if--as if you were really scared! We've got these people: We'll have them out of Deepwater in six months. It's absolute ruination to their beastly old house; we'll put the chimneys on the very edge, not three hundred yards off, and our smoke'll be drifting over them half the time. You won't have this confounded stuck-up woman here much longer. And then we can really go ahead and take our proper place. So long as she's here, we shall never do that. We've only to drive on now as fast as we can. (CHLOE: I see.) (Again looking at her) If you go on like this, you know, I shall begin to think there's something you---- CHLOE (softly) Charlie! (He comes to her.) Love me!
