If Only etc.

ROSALINE (aside).

Dear man!

HENRICH SCHERCL.

(Aside to CHARLES SYLVESTER.) Why is Tempenny so afraid his wife should see her? You too—why are you so afraid? Is she not of a good character, this Miss Rosaline?

CHARLES SYLVESTER.

(Aside to HENRICH SCHERCL.) The girl is a paragon. They are jealous of her, that's all. She is too good-looking for 'em.

HENRICH SCHERCL.

Ha, ha, I see!

REMBRANDT TEMPENNY.

I think we'll leave you, old man. Rosaline, Mr. Schercl, has something to say to you—we shall be in the way. (Aside to CHARLES SYLVESTER.) Come on, old chap—I wouldn't risk being found in the room again with the girl for a monkey.
