Miss A. Tell her she must excuse me. I'm engaged for the next half hour.

Daisy. Yes, ma'am. (going)

Miss A. Daisy.

Daisy. Ma'am?

Miss A. (affectedly) How am I looking to-day?

Daisy. Most charmingly.

Miss A. Do you really think so?

Daisy. Indeed I do. To see you now, no one would suppose you were a day over thirty. (aside) Horrid thing! She's fifty if she's a day.

Miss A. I fear you are a flatterer. Now, you don't think I'm too old to marry, do you?

Daisy. Why, no ma'am. Lots of people get married who are much older than you. (aside) And big fools they are, too.
