Dr. E. (L.). Such very excellent care as we take of it!
Kate. And such pains as you take to elect none but honest men to office!
Eug. Ha! ha! that isn't a bad one for you, sis, it's a pity you are a woman, for you would have been a smart man and no mistake. But what the deuce of a temper the governor is in! Making such a fuss over a little bill for our champagne supper last night as I never heard.
Kate. I wish you would let champagne alone, Eugene.
Eug. Now don't preach. Say, can't you coax some money out of him some way? You women know how to do that sort of thing.
Kate. I fear I am deficient in that feature of our sex.
Eug. Oh, hang it! but I must have the money some way.
(Enter Lizzie, C. Looks at Kate.)
Lizzie. Excuse me, but I was told I should find Mrs. Grovenor here. Are you the lady?
Eug. (aside). By Jove, Lizzie, and here! (Goes to L. of Dr. E.)
