ANGEL. (bewildered) Edwin!

EDWIN. You're my good genius, Lina mine! the only woman I ever loved.

ANGEL. (looking him full in the face) Except Anastasia!
EDWIN. (stupefied) Eh! who?

ANGEL. Anastasia, whom you are going to see in London !
EDWIN. An-London? (aside) I'm done.

ANGEL. I was in that room and heard all.

EDWIN. In that room-ah! when I was in this?

ANGEL. (bursting into tears) O, it's too bad of you! I vowed that I wouldn't cry, but I can't help it.

much!

I did love you-so

EDWIN. (suddenly forcing a laugh) So you were quite taken in, then? Bravo, bravo!

ANGEL. What do you mean?

EDWIN. She believed it all! Bless her innocent little heart! Why I knew you were there all the time; and Jack and I got up that little scene in order to cure you of your small jealousies!

ANGEL. As if I could believe that! Your journey to London

EDWIN. Imaginary.

ANGEL. And Anastasia?

EDWIN. Ha ha! and you believed in her, too, Anna Maria -Anaconda-what's her name?-was a myth of Jack's creation! The dog! he was always up to some game or another. Even in school-days we used to call him "Evil

Deedes."

ANGEL. Oh Edwin! I'm too glad to believe you! The lesson was a hard one; but perhaps I deserved it. Forgive me, dear, won't you?

EDWIN. No-it is you who must forgive me.

ANGEL. No-you.

EDWIN. Well, then, try_both! (they rush into each other's arms and upset the chair. JACK rushes in theatrically)

JACK. Forbear, unhappy man. Hit one of your own sex. Hallo! what's this? It doesn't look much like cruelty. This was the chair, I think, Mrs. Bliss? (looking at her)

ANGEL. (aside) Mr. Deedes: and I'd forgotten all about him! EDWIN. (aside) Jack! and he hasn't got his cue! (aloud, winking at JACK) Well, our plan has succeeded wonderfully. JACK. (mystified) No, has it though? (aside) This is the most extraordinary establishment!

ANGEL. It was too bad of you, Mr. Deedes, to play me such a trick.

EDWIN. O, too bad of both of us. (aside to JACK) Hold your tongue.

ANGEL. But the lesson has not been thrown away; and thank you for it. (giving JACK her hand)

EDWIN. (giving his) Thank you, Jack, thank you.
JACK. You're very welcome, I'm sure.

ANGEL. Only you really must let me compliment you on your proficiency in the art of-fibbing!

EDWIN. Yes, Jack's good at that; it's professional.
JACK. Will somebody explain something?

EDWIN. Everything is explained. It's an understood thing that you managed it capitally; so, (aside to JACK) for goodness sake keep quiet.

JACK. (aside) Well, I shall understand in time I suppose. ANGEL. And now, Edwin, the sooner we leave for London the better. No objection; I am wiser than I was, and see what a mistake I made, thanks to a true friend.

EDWIN. Yes, Jack, you're a true friend-you are. What shall we do to shew our gratitude?

JACK. Well, since you seem to have settled it all between you, give me that letter of introduction.

EDWIN. With the greatest pleasure in life, old fellow. Go on and prosper. I always told you that marriage is the one road to happiness!

JACK. (aside, laughing) Confound his impudence!

EDWIN. Here's your letter, and good speed to your wooing; and may you never repent the step which you are going to take, more than Lina and I mean to regret that we took Six Months Ago!

JACK DEEDES, R.

ANGELINA and EDWIN, C.
