Sir Julian Twombley.

The arrangements?

Mr. Melton.

The arrangements for the opening of the new street.

Sir Julian Twombley.

Oh, to be sure; I open the new street to-day. Why on earth shouldn’t a new street be opened by a policeman during the night, quietly?

[The Dowager Lady Drumdurris, fashionably dressed for out-of-doors, enters.]

Dowager.

[In a flutter.] Julian, good-morning. A glorious day for the ceremony, Mr. Melton. Is everything arranged?

Mr. Melton.
