SCENE.—Same room as before. Evening of same day.

(Mrs. Winston is seated, with sewing. Bobby runs in.)

Mrs. W. What do you think I got in the mail to-day, Bobby?

Bobby. The paper, probably.

Mrs. W. Yes, but something more.

Bobby. A letter.

Mrs. W. Something better and more precious still.

Bobby. What was it?

Mrs. W. A valentine—such a pretty one! Why, I haven’t had a valentine for years!

Bobby. Did you like it?
