Miss Mea. He is again passing a few days here. I had the pleasure of speaking to him last night—he promised to call this morning to pay his respects to you!
Miss Mac. To me! No, no, miss, I can see through his shallow artifice! Under pretence of paying his respects to me, that he may have an interview with you—there you see. Even a generous young man that rescued me from the fury of a savage bull, is not exempt from double dealing.

Miss Mac. I shall retire.
Miss Mea. Nay, not immediately.
Miss Mac. If I remain, I can only be moderately civil.
Miss Mea. ’Tis all that is required from you, aunt.
[MISS MEADOWS opens the door.
Enter MR. CHARLES CHESTER, L.
