Dunn. Oh, what luck some people have!
Mift. (C.) I came to plead to your generosity; her husband believes she was never engaged before! She dreads you might disclose her deception, and expose her letters.
Corn. Ah! How she has misjudged me; I forgive her freely; she shall have her letters——
Mift. Thank you!
Corn. In exchange for mine, of course. It must be a sound reciprocal arrangement.
Mift. Yes! Yes! I have them in my trunk.
Corn. Good! When you are packing, I will take them.
Dunn. (coming down) And as you have now thoroughly accomplished the object of your coming, Miss Mifton, there is nothing further to detain you. I wish you good day. (taking her hand) I’m sorry you had so much trouble, but compensation will of course——
Mift. (withdrawing her hand, indignantly, and going R.) You are mistaken, Mr. Dunn. I could never consent to leave the ladies in their distress.
Corn. (crosses to Miss Mifton) That sentiment does you credit, Miss Mifton! Don’t be intimidated, I will stand by you.
