Jeremy I'm going to disguise myself as a Colonel. Worthy will be my Major. And, as Dr. Peacock doesn't know us because we've always been careful never to come here except when he's visiting patients—ah, what a trick I will play on him. I intend to consult him on a pretended illness. (low to Trippet) Well, Trippet, you're good at this sort of thing. What do you say to it?
Trippet
I approve of it. That's all I have to say about it.
Worthy
But, tell us everything.
Jeremy I will instruct you as we go. Let's leave now. Time is precious. I'm going to prepare everything. (to Harriet) No goodbyes, beautiful lady. (to Trippet) See you soon, you little flirt. You, Major, follow me.
(Exit Jeremy and Worthy.)
Harriet
Do you think it will work?
Trippet
Indubitably.
Harriet
Don't let me languish any more. Listen to me.
Trippet Hush! Our lovers were right to leave. Here comes Mr. Flem. Follow my lead and pretend to be delighted to marry him.
Harriet
What a bore!
