Bradley (looking at his watch). By Jove, Emma, it’s after eleven!
Mrs. Bradley. After eleven? Dear me! I had no idea it was as late as that. How time flies when you are enjoying yourself! Really, Edward, you ought not to have overlooked the time. You know—
Bradley. I supposed you knew we couldn’t pull a house down in five minutes.
Perkins. What’s become of the clock?
Mrs. Perkins. I don’t know. Who took the clock out?
Barlow. I did. It’s under the dining-room table.
Mrs. Bradley. Well, we mustn’t keep Bessie up another moment. Good-night, my dear. We have had a delightful time.
Mrs. Perkins. Good-night. I am sure we have enjoyed it.
Perkins (aside). Oh yes, indeed; we haven’t had so much fun since the children had the mumps.
Yardsley. Well, so-long, Perkins. Thanks for your help.
