ROYS. (aside). That’s one couple; but there’s room for another. (To MRS. TEMPLETON.) Madam, I have the honor to solicit the hand of your younger niece, Miss Josephine!
MRS. T. With all my heart, Mr. Royston; that is, unless Josephine objects.
JOSEPHINE (quickly). But she doesn’t! (giving her hand to ROYSTON).
BART. You see, Jonathan will be satisfied, after all.
ROYS. Yes. But poor Sophia (sighing).
BART. Hush! (Aside to JULIA, and slipping the portrait into her hand.) You’ll put this portrait back in its place.
JOSEPHINE. She won’t care to look at it, now that she’s got the original.
