CARO. Oh, I’m always happy when papa is.
BUNNY. (heard within the apartment) Now then, Caroline—how much longer are you going to be?
CARO. Papa’s voice!
Enter BUNNY, at door L. flat, in evening costume, very elaborated, and exaggerated.
BUNNY. (before entering) Not in her room? (enters) Oh! here you are, and dressed at last! and high time too, considering that our guests have all arrived—except Cockletop, and Cockletop’s nephew, from Cambridge—and what makes Cockletop, and Cockletop’s nephew from Cambridge, so late, I can’t imagine. (seeing CAPTAIN) Eh? Yes! Captain Hardaport, I declare, that we had the pleasure of meeting, three months ago at Plymouth! this is an unexpected pleasure—isn’t it, Carry?
CARO. Yes, papa.
Enter ARABELLA and PHŒBE, at side, L.
ARABEL. (aside) I can’t see anything of Mr. Sharp in the street
BUNNY. Perhaps you and your charming sister, Miss Arabella, will join our little party below?
| CAPT. H. ARABEL. | } | Delighted! I’m sure! |
