(Enter Doughlass and Alice, followed by Jim and Jennie, C.)
Doug. (R.). Aw—quite a family gathering, I declare.
Alice. We are just in time to complete the circle.
Dr. E. (R. of Mr. Grovenor's chair with Kate). And now, Mr. Grovenor, will you give your blessing? For Kate has promised to be my wife.
Mrs. G. My dear Kate.
Alice. Can it be?
Doug. (aside). Going to mawwy the strong-minded one? Good gracious!
Mr. G. Doctor, you have won a pearl of great price, but you are worthy of it. Heaven bless you both.
Alice (aside). My ideas have been all wrong, but my fate is fixed now.
Jim (coming down L. with Jennie). If you please, now, there is so much being said about getting married, I would like to mention that Jennie and I are going to get married, too.
