Ah! don’t read it!

Mr. Joseph Lebanon.

My friend Sir Julian’s own writing! The Rajputana Canal is a blessed fact! Lady Twombley, I forget my wounded pride, I forgive the blow to my self-respect. You have won a place in Jo Lebanon’s heart.

Lady Twombley.

Give me back that paper and forget it!

Mr. Joseph Lebanon.

[Returning the paper.] Give it you back? Delighted. Forget it? Oh, Lady T, Lady T.

Lady Twombley.

Devil!

Mr. Joseph Lebanon.
