Mamma P. [To Grandma P.] Did you ever see such a queer old dear as Dr. Hardhack? He does say the oddest things! Isn't he so original?
Grandma P. I haven't heard such good sense talked by any doctor in a long time.
Aunt F. And then you know, he's all the fashion now.
CURTAIN.
ACT IV.
Six months later than when Emily went away. She has returned home, bringing her friend, Pussy Willow. In the room are gathered Grandma P., Mamma P., the two aunts, also Emily and Pussy and Dr. Hardhack.
Mamma P. Well, now, Dr. Hardhack, doesn't our Emily look beautiful?
Aunt F. So healthy!
Aunt H.-T. Such a splendid color!
