SCENE VI

Ernest, Pepito, and Servant.

Servant. [Mysteriously.] Somebody wants to see you, sir.

Ernest. Who?

Servant. A lady.

Ernest. How extraordinary!

Pepito. [Aside to servant.] What does she want?

Servant. [To Pepito.] She is crying.

Pepito. [Aloud.] Is she young?

Servant. Really, sir, I can't say. It's very dark outside, and the lady's face is so thickly veiled that the devil himself couldn't tell what she's like, and she speaks so low you can't even hear her.
