SCENE.—Venetian Carnival brilliantly illuminated—various characters on—Music, Dancing, Tumbling, and masquerade business ad libitum, till enter Jerry (as Sportsman) and Sue as Domino.
Sue. (Coming down). What game would you start here, Mr. Sportsman?
Jerry. None, my pretty Domino—I only hunt in Somersetshire; that’s my manor.
Sue. Manners makes the man, certainly; but you’re making game of me.
Jerry. I speak truth, by heaven!—Oh, Susan, lovely Susan, never can I forget thee, dear.
Sue. Indeed! then Susan takes you at your word. (Unmasks).
Jerry. Susan Rosebud!—Astonishment! then the Captain—Miss Trifle, and the pretty ballad singer!——
Susan. Were one and the same person, your humble servant!—I followed to preserve and reclaim you; I have done so, and I am happy—but your cousin comes, stand aside.
[They retire.
