Andy. That's a wee failing of John's. I often warned him about doing that sort of thing indiscriminately. A bit of a ladies' man, John, in his way. I saw him do the same nonsense four or five times that night with other girls. John likes to think himself a bit of a gay dog, you know. It's not right--I don't think myself it's a bit proper to put your arm round a girl's waist on every occasion, but sometimes it's quite allowable. A night like a social, for instance. (ANDY: Aye. Of course a social's different.) Aye, Andy, a social's different. Well, now. No love, no letters, no courting, no photographs exchanged? (He looks at ANDY inquiringly). No photographs exchanged? ((He notes it down.)) No ring? In fact, Andy, no nothing. (ANDY: But he proposed to her right enough.) Who said so? ANDY (astonished). What? Do you mean to deny he didn't?
