Before this worthy audience goes away,
There’s still one figure more to show—
A. N. Smith (in surprise). No!
Rod. Indeed there is—one worth her weight in gold.
Berlinda, Roderigo’s bride, behold!
(Uncovers the figure and leads Berlinda to the audience.)
Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve played our little game—
We’re satisfied (aint we, Berlinda?) we hope you are the same.
And now as all the parts of our charade you’ve heard,
It only rests with you to say the word.
