Dr. A. I never thought of that, Frank. I owe you much. But if ever you attempt another such trick—
Frank. But I shan't. This one will give me a wife (takes Annie's hand), and there will be no more mischief in me.
Dr. A. Lucy, what have you to say for yourself?
Lucy. O, I'm delighted. It brings our wedding day so much nearer.
Dr. A. Well, I suppose I must be satisfied then. Gentlemen (all come down R. and L.), I have rather neglected my business to-day, but, having such a mysterious patient, I think you will pardon me. I intend, in the future, to give my attention strictly to village practice.
Oldbuck. It's all right, doctor. I'm proud to have as my physician a gentleman who has been the medical attendant of so distinguished a personage.
Plumpface. Yes, indeed, you've sent my cough off in a hurry, just by your advice; and if you can keep it from my head—
Dr. A. No fear, Mr. Plumpface. I'll cure your head in short order.
Sharpset. Say, doctor, can't you give me the address of the lady? I'll make her a splendid offer to take a position in my Living Curiosity Gallery.
