Context
Kitty and Amy have come to visit Jack and Charley in Jack's rooms at university. However, they are very proper young ladies and believe that Charley's aunt will also be present. Both have a romantic attachment with each of the men (Kitty with Jack, and Amy with Charlie) but, when they realize Charley's aunt has not yet arrived, the pair leave quickly. This leaves Jack and Charley in a spin as they are keen to secure the girls' hands in marriage.
