Miss S. Just so. Oh, I’m perfectly delighted. Doctor, does he—ah—has he doffed the Chinese garb yet and donned the raiment of civilization?
Dr. F. Blessed if I know. I’ll call him in and introduce him at once. (Rings.)
Miss S. Do so. I was just going to ask that very favor. I’m sure he will agreeably surprise us all.
Dr. F. He will. (Norah enters L.) Bring Chin Sum here.
Mrs. F. I hope the wretch doesn’t smoke opium.
Dr. F. Harriet, don’t expose your ignorance. That is done in joints.
Mrs. F. What kind of joints?
Dr. F. Blessed if I know, bamboo joints possibly. I hear the Chinese do most everything with bamboo except to fight Japan. They did that in their minds.
Enter Norah followed by Chin.
