Oh, Jack, jack, I never thought you'd turn out such a monster as this!
Doctor. (surprised to see her) Good afternoon, (fumbles for his eye-glass which is hanging down his back)
What can I do for———(recognizes her) My darling wife! This is a pleasant surprise.
Flora. (starting up) Go away, you object! (crosses R. ) It's not a pleasant surprise, and I'm not your wife any longer! I know all—oh, Jack!
Doctor. (aside) Those precious jewels have said something. Confound them! (advancing to her, timidly) My dear Flo, if you will only give me time, I can explain everything!
Flora. (eagerly) Oh, do, Jack, do! (rushes into his arms)
(Enter Ruby and Pearl.)
Ruby. (seeing Doctor and Flo together) Oh, we didn't know you were engaged.
Pearl. There's another lady wants to see you.
Flora. (jealously) Another lady? (turns away)
