Harlequin.. At ten o'clock your lordship is to be married.

Eglantine.. So I am! Heel-taps and Hymen's torches! so I am! Wonderful fellow, you remember everything! But death of my waistcoats! Have I but two hours to dress in? Not more. Begin on me ... begin.

Harlequin.. Pardon, my lord, the bell.

Eglantine.. That's the man of law. Show him in. You can bring water in here ... my turban ... pantoufles.

[The door opens and in totters Pantaloon. You know him for Pantaloon, as you knew him as Pantaloon for Charon, for all he's Mr. Talon with his tie wig, his spectacles, and his lawyer's blue bag.

Harlequin.. His lordship will receive you, Mr. Talon.

Pantaloon.. To celebrate your master's wedding day ... two crowns.

Harlequin.. I am obleeged, sir.

[Quin takes the proffered money and salutes in thanks. But--it's odd-- the salute is as when Charon saluted Mercury.

Alice.. D'you see ... in a dim sort of way they remember themselves and Olympus.
