Mary (still weeping). Well, then, try your trick; but, oh! do not let it last too long.
Mrs. L. (rings the bell; the servant appears). Call Master Edward and Morris here.
Enter Edward and Morris.
Edward. Dear mamma, do you want me?
Mrs. L. I told you to order some luncheon for your nurse, and your brother.
Edward. Well, I thought when they were ready, they could go into the kitchen.
Mrs. L. (covering her face). Oh! Edward—
Edward. What is the matter, dear mamma?
Mrs. L. (aside). Oh! how shall I say it! (Aloud.) Do not give me that sweet title any more.
Edward. What? Mamma, what do you mean?
