MR. BEN DIXON.
So we have run you to earth at last, you young rogues. (He kisses Nelly and introduces her to Primrose.)
MRS. BEN DIXON.
Run them to earth! Run them to air you mean. (Referring to Tea's proffered hand.) Lord help the boy, I don't want that. I want a kiss. What's the good of being an aunt if you can't kiss your good-looking young nephews? (Embraces him.) Oh, I am cross with you. I'm going to tell you both what I think of you as soon as I get my breath back.
NELLY MORRIS.
Don't be angry, aunt. We were only waiting for Ted to pass.
MRS. BEN DIXON.
Pass what? The Bankruptcy Court?
NELLY MORRIS.
No; his final examination. He's nearly a full-blown surgeon.
