BOLT and MIZZLE. Good morning!—Good morning!
MRS. S. May I ask the cause of this visit?
MIZ. (Aside.) Ah! that’s the devil of it.
BOLT. Cause—ah—madam, the cause is the reason, ma’am—Ahem! and the reason is the cause.—(Aside.) She must have a customer named Smith. You doubtless know—Miss Smith?
MRS. S. No, sir! I have not that honour.
MIZ. (Aside.) Of course not; everything goes wrong to-day.
BOLT. (Aside.) Smith wont do—I’ll try Brown. Miss Brown, madam, you know?
MRS. S. Oh dear, yes! Miss Brown is one of my best customers.
BOLT. Ha! ha! Bobby, the lady and I understand each other now, don’t we? (Nudges him.)
MRS. S. (Aside.) What odd persons!—Yes, sir; but Miss Brown?
