Phil. That’s it, Aunt Rachel. Stand up for your rights.
Mrs. L. Very well, let it be arranged so. And we’d better all retire, for it is already an hour past midnight.
Mr. C. I thank you all for your hospitality, and hope in the morning to be able to vindicate my character more fully.
Mr. L. That is quite unnecessary. Your statement is entirely satisfactory. (Turns to go out, L.)
Phil. (to A. R.) Hadn’t you better take your braids and curls and things, Aunt Rachel? Mr. Campbell won’t have any use for them, and you look better with them on than you do without.
A. R. (hastily putting her hand to head—mortified). I didn’t expect, when I put this cap on, to receive callers. (Goes and gets things from table.)
Mr. C. You are very excusable, under the circumstances.
A. R. (bowing). Then I will bid you good-night.
| Mr. L. | ⎫ | (bowing). Good-night. |

Philip (bowing). Good morning.
