MOLLENTRAVE ON WOMEN.
ACT I.
Sir Joseph Balsted's study, in his house in Hans Place.
Miss Treable, Margaret's companion, a faded lady of uncertain age, is fingering the photograph on the mantelpiece R. Mrs. Martelli, the housekeeper, a grim-faced, elderly woman, dressed in stiff black silk, opens the door and enters L. 3 E. Miss Treable, absorbed in a photograph she holds in her hand, does not notice her. Mrs. Martelli coughs emphatically.
Miss Tre. (coming C. turning) Oh!... Dear Mrs. Martelli, do you know who this is?
