[They are going off L.; they meet MISS SKYLARK, who is re-entering.
Miss Sky. Stop, stop; as I was going out at the door, who should I meet but Mr. Pinkey; on seeing me he stammered, blushed, and said that he was going to call on you, Miss Snare. I informed him that you were here, and now he is stumbling up stairs to speak to you. Come in, Mr. Pinkey, the lady that you wish to see is here.
MR. PETER PINKEY enters, F.E.L.
Miss Sna. Good morning, Mr. Pinkey.
Pin. Good morning, ma’am.
Miss Sna. You wish to see me?
Pin. I have merely called to say that I have received your note, and I shall do myself the pleasure of taking tea with you to-morrow, at eight o’clock precisely.
Miss Sky. Alone, with Miss Skylark.
Pin. Oh, Lord, no; I hope not.
