(Enter MELVIN just before she finishes speaking.)

MR. MELVIN. What do you know about fortune hunters, Miss Tilsbury?

MILDRED. Nothing whatsoever, Mr. Melvin. They only trouble my stepmother. Let me introduce her, Mrs. Tilsbury, Mr. Melvin, and our friend Mrs. Brown. I think you said you had met my father.

(MELVIN bows to MRS. BROWN and MRS. TILSBURY, while MR. TILSBURY comes forward and shakes hands with him.)

MR. TILSBURY. How do you do, Melvin?

MR. MELVIN. Glad to see you again, Tilsbury. How are you feeling to-day, Miss Tilsbury, quite rested?

MR. MELVIN. Did your daughter tell you, Mrs. Tilsbury, that she is educating me in the principles of Woman Suffrage?

MRS. BROWN. (Aside.) Another Mr. Van Tousel.

MRS. TILSBURY. No, she has never told me anything about you, Mr. Melvin.
