And you, Lucy?
LUCY

JUDGE
Why not? why not?
HELEN
Very well, then invite the whole family here next Sunday!
JUDGE
They'll be here in an hour.
[_Points to tables._
HELEN _and_ ERNEST
[_recoiling_]

JUDGE
Yes, you are to begin your new life together this evening! Isn't it lovely?
HELEN
[_gasping_]
But that's so sudden. Why, we--we aren't ready.
THEODORE
Just as ready as you'll ever be.
JUDGE
Ernest's vacation begins to-morrow--your honeymoon.
HELEN
But, don't you see----
LUCY
