Well, I don't really think it's been our fault, old man--'pon my soul, I don't. (TED MORRIS: Are you engaged?) No, no, we shouldn't have done that without saying anything to you, but I think we understand one another. (TED MORRIS: Hum! I don't seem much good at this duenna business.) It's not your strong point, Ted. ((Both men laugh.)) Well, what do you think, old fellow? I ought to have spoken to you before, of course. But somehow it seemed odd talking to another fellow about it. You know all about me. We are both a couple of poor devils. You're fighting the world with bones and bottles; I'm tackling it with a paint-brush. If I get licked, of course I shall clear out, but I shall daub a good deal better if I fancy I see Nelly waiting for me behind the canvas, and I may win. Come, you know I'll try to be good to her. What do you say?
