Hol. That scene requires to be well acted.
Fle. Does it not?
Hol. Well acted by the man, and well acted by the lady, in particular.
Fle. (aside) He’s quite right.
Hol. The lady has but one word to say, but one exclamation: “My father!” but the success entirely depends upon the manner of her giving it.
Fle. You are right, and I shall hesitate no longer. (Writes.) “My dear Miss Belmour,—It is quite impossible”——
Hol. Miss Belmour! Did you say Miss Constance Belmour?
Fle. Yes, I cast her this part—I am writing to relieve her of it.
Hol. Take the part from her? from Constance—christened during the run of the Love Chase.
Fle. Your “Father!” has decided me.
