Page. Ah, yes! (Sighs).

Susan (Mimicking). Ah, yes!—Come, come, let me try on one of my Gowns upon you—Come here—Let us measure—I declare the little Villain is not so tall as I am.

Page. Um—(Pouts.)

Susan. Turn about—Let me untie your cloak.

(Susan takes off the Page’s cloak.)

Countess. But suppose somebody should come?
