Florence (to Mr. Vicar, in a whisper). I wonder if we could see the dog. We might be able to do something for him.
Mr. Vicar. Where is your dog; Roger?
Roger. At home, beside the fire.

Scene. In a hospital. Soldiers are lying on cots and chairs. Florence Nightingale comes in with a lamp in her hand.
First Soldier. Hush, here comes the Angel of Mercy to look after us poor fellows. How tired she must be after working all day.
