Sir J. The name's familiar—I've heard her mention it—
Mollen. Of course! My dear fellow, I haven't seen the lady—and I prefer, as a rule, to visit the patient before pronouncing upon her case. But here all is simple, and there is no further need of analysis. She belongs to the large class, known as Invertebrate Sentimentalists. (away R. C.)
Sir J. (rise and go C.) The deuce she does!
Mollen. Harmless, my dear fellow—quite harmless! Now tell me—your nephew?
Sir J. Yes?
Mollen. Has he been here all the time?
Sir J. The last month only—he studied in Germany.
Mollen. Good. A normal, healthy lad?
Sir J. Quite.
