Miss Sky. I do, sir, I have heard of you; you proposed to another lady last night.
Pin. Oh, so I did.
Miss Sky. You confess it, do you; and, because you were rejected there, sir, you have summoned all the courage you are capable of to address me.
Pin. Let me explain.
Miss Sky. Monster, away.
[PINKEY, terrified, jumps up, runs to the door and calls out.
Pin. Let me out, pray, let me out; I’ve popped and it’s no use. Let me out.
[They hold the door fast laughing at PINKEY; BOSS, at length opens it; PINKEY darts out; MISS SNARE, BOSS, and DAMPER enter.
Miss Sna. (R.) What is the matter, have you refused him?
Miss Sky. (C.) Certainly. As I was coming here I met Miss Macaw, and it appears that Mr. Pinkey actually proposed to her last night.
