Muriel.

[Leaving Sophy.] Yes, after to-morrow he sha'n't find me looking a guilty fool whenever he speaks to me—by Jove, he sha'n't! I believe he guessed I haven't seen Moses in the Bulrushes!

Sophy.

Muriel.

[Pausing in her walk.] To say?—good-bye.

Sophy.

Suppose he asks you to put him out of his misery—marry him directly, on the quiet?
