Ray. Why, Captain! where have you been?
Capt. I’ve just been aboard my wacht, to change my clothing; that’s all. ’Twas a little chilly.
Mrs. Gale. Why, Captain! you looked warm enough when I saw you last.
Capt. That howid old woman!—she’s poking fun at me: I know she is.
Ray. Well, Captain, I mentioned your proposal to my daughter; but she positively refuses to marry you.
Capt. I’m doosed glad of it; for I’ve found a beautiful cweecher, who suits me better.
Ray. Who is that, pray?
Capt. Miss Kitty Gale.
March. You’re too late, Captain: she’s engaged to me.
