MISS TESMAN.
Yes, don't be uneasy, my dear boy.—Besides, I have given security for the furniture and all the carpets.
TESMAN.
Security? You? My dear Aunt Julia—what sort of security could you give?
MISS TESMAN.
I have given a mortgage on our annuity.
TESMAN.
[Jumps up.] What! On your—and Aunt Rina's annuity!
MISS TESMAN.
Yes, I knew of no other plan, you see.
