Alice. Miss—Mrs. Doctor, you’ve made a mistake. This is the patient.
Jenny. Dear me, dear me! what a blunder! (Comes back to table, L., takes off her bonnet, then places chair, L. of Mrs. L., and sits.) What’s the trouble?
Mrs. L. Oh, dear!—doctor—I don’t know. I’m failing rapidly.
Jenny. Let me see your tongue (Mrs. L. shows it.) Ahem! Bad, bad!
Mrs. L. Oh, dear, doctor, do tell me the worst!
Jenny. Have you a cough?
Mrs. L. (Forcing a very slight cough.) Dreadful!
Aunt M. Why, that must be a female woman doctor.
Jenny. Sleep well nights?
