Papa? Is something the matter?
No, nothing's the matter, and that's what I want to make clear.
I don't understand. What's this about?
Marigold.
I see. And what do you have to say about Marigold?
I think you know what I want to say--what I want you to say.
I can't give her up.
No, of course not.
...
I want your forgiveness, Papa. Am I allowed to say that still?
It's not the way I would have things. I won't lie to you about that, but this is what's happened. I believe Michael Gregson was an honorable man.
Oh, he was, Papa! He really was. He would have married me as soon as he could. I know that!
I think so, too. So now we must do our best for his child. For his sake as well as yours.
That's so lovely of you.
But I think we should keep it in the family. Even in 1924, there are plenty of people who might be unpleasant.
But do you forgive me, Papa?
Oh, my darling, I'm sure I need your forgiveness quite as much as you need mine.
