PATIENCE—What is this I see, Grosvenor—Archibald with his hair cut! Oh, Archibald, is it you? Can it be that you are indeed a common person once more?
GROSVENOR—It is. I am still connected with the Chicago & Alton Railroad, it is true, but I am once more a commonplace young man.
PATIENCE—Then to love you would not be selfish, Archibald, I have promised to marry the Grand Commander if I live or die; but that makes no difference, I love you and am yours forever.
G· C·—This is too much. Then I am jilted?
PATIENCE—Do not let that worry you, Grand Commander. You will find another who will be ready to appreciate the many advantages to be derived from a marriage with a man of your attainments.
