CAPT. H. Who’s Cocklepot?

CARO. (modestly) He is the uncle of—the young man.

CAPT. H. And you love him?

CARO. I’ve never seen him yet.

CAPT. H. Then perhaps you wouldn’t break your heart if I was to send him to Davy Jones? (savagely)

CARO. Not I, indeed!

CAPT. H. That’s enough. (taking her hand, and kissing it repeatedly)

CARO. Papa gives a ball this evening—I’m sure he’ll be very happy to see you.

CAPT. H. And you?
