Dunn. (L.) Hattie, my dear, be quiet. Miss Sillocks is not interested in our family surprises.

Bea. (R. C.) Oh yes I am! Especially as I have one of my own.

Car. For whom?

Bea. For all of you! Papa has always imagined, as Mr. Dunn’s sister never visited him, that there was some kind of estrangement.

Hat. Yes! And her papa was determined to get Peter’s sister over on a visit, and give them the chance to kiss and be friends.

Bea. That’s it! And he has just received a telegram to say she will come.

Hel. and Car. (R. and R. C.) Who will come?

Bea. (C.) Mr. Dunn’s sister, Mabel!

Hel. Mabel?
