All the world shall learn how highly you thought of Dinah's marriage at Mr. Queckett's party last night.

RANKLING.

[To himself] Oh!

MRS. RANKLING.

And what a very different man you have always been in your own home. [Beginning to cry.] And take care, Archibald, that the verdict of posterity is not that you were less a husband and father than a tyrant and oppressor. [Queckett enters, with Miss Dyott in pursuit; she follows him out.]

MISS DYOTT.

[As she goes.] Vere! [Rankling blows his nose and wipes his, eyes, and looks at Mrs. Rankling.]

RANKLING.

[In a conciliatory tone.] Emma! Emma!

MRS. RANKLING.
