Sir J. Noyes! Ah, I had forgotten about Noyes! Send him up, (across to R.) please. Oh, it's splendid, Mrs. Martelli—splendid!
(Mrs. Martelli exits R. 1 E.)
(The door at back opens and Everard appears.)
Everard. Uncle!
Sir J. (C. rushing to him, and slapping him on the back) Everard! It's all right! Go to her, my boy!
Everard. (L. C. gasping) Uncle!
Sir J. Go to her! She adores you! Unworthy, et-cetera—never dared to look so high! Oh, you couple of idiots! Give her the classic kiss, and get her to name the day! She has promised to make it soon. Quick, now—she's waiting!
Everard. Uncle!
(He rushes out wildly back L. 3 E. Sir Joseph returns to R. C. Noyes enters R. 1 E.)
