Kids. Yaas, Moses into the bull-wushes! That’s good—weally owiginal, too.
Mulligrub (rising). Monsieur Adonis, I beg your pardon for my rudeness. I will make amends, ample reparation. Greenbacks shall shower upon your classic academy. To you, gentlemen, I need make no apologies. You see the old man has “cut up,” and perhaps may be made to “shell out.” I don’t think my girls will be able to assist you on that precipice. With your permission, I will retire.
Eva. Don’t go, father. Stay and enjoy yourself.
Ida. And see us waltz. We have splendid partners.
Mons. A. Proficient in all ze elegancies of ze art.
Mrs. M. Moses, I’m ashamed of you. You’re really proficient in the usages of fashionable depravity; but I’ll forgive you, and make you acquainted with my new flame, one which you so grievously mistook, my harmless pet, “The Boston Dip.” (Music, Beautiful Blue Danube. Mr. Mulligrub bows, and retires up, C. Waltz, Monsieur Adonis and Mrs. Mulligrub; Dasher and Eva; Kids and Ida.)
