VAN. No chaffing, young man! This is some of your humbug!
FAST. Only listen to me for one moment and you’ll soon be convinced—the whole truth of the matter is simply this—before you went abroad you and your wife were occupying these rooms—
MRS. BOBBINS. (interrupting him) To be sure! of course—now I see it all! which we have taken since, and this lady has gone up stairs—he has mistaken the floor! (FASTMAN goes up to REBECCA, at back)
VAN. (to his wife) What, do you mean to say that you have moved, then?
MRS. BROWN. I’ll explain all that, Vandyke, by and by.
VAN. Oh! I see—to avoid the creditors, eh!
AUGUS. My dear Constantia! (embracing)
VAN. My dear little Emily! (embracing)
MRS. BROWN. My dear, dear Vandyke!
MRS. BOBBINS. Eh! what Vandyke? Vandyke Brown, brought up an artist? Why, you are my cousin!
