Elizabeth
Anna, who are these people?
Anna They are two of the dancers your father has brought. They are dressed to amuse, apparently.
Jeremy
Yes, my ladies, we come to give you a little moment of sport.
Anna
I know that mug!
Jeremy
Mug! Oh! Mug yourself!
Manly (to Jeremy)
Will you shut up?
Elizabeth
What do I hear? It's Manly's voice— It's Manly that I see. Ah,
Heaven!
Manly Don't be frightened, Elizabeth. Yes, it is Manly who presents himself to you, and who cuts through insurmountable obstacles to obtain the pleasure of seeing you.
Elizabeth You couldn't surprise me more agreeably. My joy is so great that I can hardly speak. But my happiness is cruelly crossed by the fact that my father will discover you.
Manly I beg you not to worry; this disguise hides me from his eyes so effectively that he has no idea I am here—besides, he's seen me too infrequently to spot me in this get-up.
