My dear child, suppose we admit all that, what then? (HELEN: But don't you see-- WILLIAM R.. You little idiot! I don't see anything but you.) You love each other, that's the whole of it, children. Suppose you listen to an old woman. (WILLIAM: Old! Huh!) Well, old enough. If Billy was the usual rich man's son it might be different. There might be something in what you say. But thank God he isn't. Mind you, I don't say he wasn't like most of them when he was younger. I dare say he was, I know he went to supper with a chorus girl once.
