“Not go to the 'Gaiety'? He doesn't know me.”

“Have I seen him? Do tell me; you know you can trust me. I am your friend. Tell me—”
“You have seen him in the 'Gaiety,' in the grill-room—the waiter, number two, the good-looking tall man.”
“Oh!”
“He wasn't always a waiter; his people are very superior. He has been unfortunate.”
“And it was he you loved this long while?”
“I never cared for another man.”
“I must write and tell him he is committing an act of injustice. I will make this matter right for you, Lizzie.”
