Annie. You are a little fool!
Vir. Yes ... I am a little fool.
Ethel. O, there ’s help for you if you know it!
Vir. If I were not a little fool I could be of more help to Edgar.
Ethel and Annie. Oh!
Annie. (Jumping up) Then we can’t stay to-day!
Vir. I am so sorry—but—
Annie. O, we might as well give you up first as last! (Exeunt girls)
Vir. (Sits at table and stares at the papers) ... A little fool ... a little fool.
