(abstractedly) He was a good man ; so quiet, no grave, so sensible. I wonder if ever I shall see him again. I do hope I shall. VANE, (uneasily) May, I don't like this. MAY. Don't you ? You're jealous ; I'm glad of that. VANE. Glad I MAY. Yes ; for the extent of your jealousy shews the ex- tent of your love. Jealousy is like the quicksilver in a thermometer, and indicates the state of the temperature of the heart ; I'll make you more jealous still ; I'll have the quicksilver higher yet. If he, o...f whom I speak, had asked me a year ago to be his wife and I thought then that he meant to ask me I should gladly have assented. How's the thermometer now, Cecil '? at boiling point ? VANE. No, for you put me too much in the shade, (aside) Jove ! is she going to slip through my fingers after all? (to MAY) Seriously it's most inconsiderate to tell me this. It's scarcely encouraging for a fellow to be informed by the very girl who has promised to marry him that she was in love with some other fellow a year ago.
