I’ll Follow My Secret Heart Noël Coward

Paul:
Now then; business, Melanie. What did Lord Sheere say to you last night?

Melanie:
Not very much, but he was very ardent

Paul:
Good. He is coming here this morning

Melanie:
This morning?

Paul:
Yes, I wrote him a note from you. I will recieve him, and when I have talked with him for a little he will propose marriage

Melanie:
He seemed last night to wish for something a little less binding

Paul:
Never mind. When he proposes, you will accept him

Melanie:
When may I love somebody, please?

Paul:
Not until you are safely married—and then only with the greatest discretion
