Scene I.—A room at Miss Dane’s boarding-house. Mr. Farwell, R., half reclining on the sofa. Mr. Grover, C., sitting in a chair, with his feet on the table. Both smoking.
Mr. Farwell. Why don’t you get married, Grover? I suppose you intend, at some time, to take to yourself a wife.
Mr. Grover. I might if I could find a woman to suit me. But I don’t want any of the vain and frivolous creatures we constantly meet in society.
Mr. F. They are not all of this description. Now, there’s Gertrude Hobbs. She is a pretty girl.
Mr. G. And when you’ve said that, you’ve said all there is to say.
Mr. F. I’m sure she is pleasant and agreeable.
