Enter Norah, L.
Dr. F. Nothing, my dear (reads). “The remedy is”—
Norah. If you plaze, sor, the Chinee cook has come.
Dr. F. All right, Norah, show him his room and then take him to the kitchen. My dear will you install him?
Mrs. F. No indeed! You may do that, Henry, till he gets a start. Decidedly I feel nervous with a Chinaman in the kitchen. Who knows but he may poison us all.
Norah. (Re-enter with card.) If you plaze, Mrs. Fluke, Miss Simper’s at the dure.
Mrs. F. Show her in, Norah, at once. (Exit Norah, L.) Now she will be trying to convert him.
Enter Miss Simper, L.
Mrs. F. I’m delighted to see you, Miss Simper.
