[Vanillity, feeling very wretched, shakes Agnus’s hand. As the Judge’s back is turned, he shakes his head vigorously. They go out.
FANNY (outside)

MRS. FELIX (to Onfroy, hurriedly)
She’ll come back if I stay. Argue the boy out of it—do. Addington, listen to Noel. (She goes)
ONFROY (alone with Agnus)
Now, you bally ass; you Simon Simple; you Babe-in-the-Wood; you Hans Clodhopper; you Little Claus; you—you everything that is asinine—listen to me; if you accept, I’ll never speak to you again!
