Mrs. Upjohn.

Lil, I’m perfec’ly ashamed of you, speakin’ to Jimmie Birch in that manner.

Lily.

Dropping her head on Jimmie’s shoulder. Oh——!

Jimmie.

She doesn’t mean it.

Mrs. Upjohn.

I ’ope not. It ain’t exac’ly pleasant to ’ave a dog in the manger for a daughter. To Lily. Why shouldn’t young Farncombe turn ’is attention to Miss Birch, pray, or to any young lady who doesn’t object to take your leavin’s!

Jimmie.

To Mrs. Upjohn. H’sh, h’sh, h’sh!
