Matthews
Good day, my dear, how are you feeling?
Elizabeth
Not very ill today, papa.
Anna
I wager it was Miss Belinda who sent you here.
Matthews Oh no, she didn't want me to come. She told me Elizabeth had left with you to take a walk in the Park.
Anna That is what we spoke of doing in front of her, but Miss Elizabeth changed her mind because she is a little indisposed—and because she really loves dancing. I brought these gentlemen here while waiting for your little show.
Matthews
You did very well.
Anna
They are dressed to play a very exciting part.
Matthews
They both look good.
Jeremy Sir, in all modesty, we are very light on our feet. (falling drunkenly on Matthews)
Matthews
Not so light, it would seem.
