Major Tarver and Mr. Darbey!——
The Dean.
If you have sufficiently merged all sense of moral rectitude as to declare that I am not at home, do so.
Sheba.
No, no. Papa; we have accidentally discovered that you, our parent, have stooped to deception, if not to crime.
The Dean.
[Staggering back.] Oh!
Sheba.
We are still young—the sooner, therefore, we are removed from any unfortunate influence the better.
Salome.
