Flora. A doubt I have.

Carlos. Do you entertain any doubts of me?

Flora. Yes—Indeed I do.

Carlos. What are they?

Flora. I have been trying to put this bunch of ribbons into a right form for my Lady's hair, and I hardly know how.

Carlos. Let me try. ( She gives the ribbons. )

Flora. Now shall I see by the dexterity, whether it is a woman or not. [ aside.

Carlos. There—I'll be hanged if I have not done it to a nicety. ( Returns the ribbons. )

Flora. 'Tis a woman, pshaw.

( Aside and sighing. )
