In this short scene, Mr. Lorry complains to his wife and son-in-law that he's trying too hard to please them. He feels that they're already his wife, and that they are already his friends. He tells them that he wants to marry them, but that he doesn't want to use them to improve his social standing. He's worried that they don't have enough money to do so, so he wants them to give him some of their money so that he can marry them. They agree to meet with a fortune teller later that afternoon.
