POLICEMAN. I would never think of comparing Mrs. Bodie to you. For my part I think nothing of uppers. Feet for me.

(She gives him her hand to hold.)

My dear!

CINDERELLA. You said that was only a beginning!

POLICEMAN. My dearest!

CINDERELLA (glistening). I’m not feeling none tired, David.

POLICEMAN. My pretty!

CINDERELLA. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

POLICEMAN. I don’t set up to be a prince, Jane; but I love you in a princely way, and if you would marry me, you wonder, I’ll be a true man to you till death us do part. Come on, Cinders. (Pause.) It’s the only chance that belt of mine has.

CINDERELLA. No, no, I haven’t took you yet! There’s a thing you could do for me, that would gratify me tremendous.
