Sir G. What was the piece?

Lady C. “Une Chaine,” by Eugène Scribe.

Sir G. I don’t remember it.

Rose. And it is so exciting. There is a young man in it—such a nice young man, with a moustache—oh, such a sweet moustache!

Sir G. Well?

Rose. He’s in love.

Sir G. Of course.

Rose. With a young girl—oh, such a stupid girl! I can’t think what he could have seen in her—and she’s in love with him.

Sir G. And they get married, I suppose.

Rose. In the last act; but in the meantime there is such a to-do.
