Miss B. Pardon my intrusion, madam, but I have called respecting a gentleman residing here.
Mrs. S. Indeed!
Miss B. I have written to him more than once, but received no answer.
Mrs. S. Recently?
Miss B. To-day.
Mrs. S. (recollecting the letter of Act I.). Written here—was your letter signed “Lottie”?
Miss B. Yes. It’s my name. I have placed myself in a false position, and I want my husband at once to release me from it.
Mrs. S. Have you brought him with you?
Miss B. No—I am here to find him!
Mrs. S. To find him! (Aside.) That letter was not for Fred, but for Sam, after all. (Aloud.) When did you last see him?
