COL. In which you undertook to plead his cause—eh?
BART. Yes; and forgot all about it in my anxiety to plead my own!
COL. What’s that? Do you mean to say you confided to her the secret between you and Josephine?
BART. Yes; trusting in her generous nature and her sisterly affection, I certainly did!
COL. And a pretty mess you’ve made of it! Well, I must find Royston and let him know. As for you, as you’ve received orders to march, the sooner you pack up and pack off the better! (hurries out at C.).
(Door at R. H. opens, and JOSEPHINE peeps in.)
JOSEPHINE. Harry! Are you alone?—quite alone? (hurries forward).
BART. Yes. What is it?
JOSEPHINE. Such a discovery! (in a very mysterious tone). She’s got one!
