Topp. (Starting.) There’s a mistake!

Tick. (Aside.) Sly old dog!

Mrs. T-K. I think there is no mistake. I called at No. 5, and they said it was No. 3.

Topp. I am sure it must be one of my neighbors. May the devil take that painter! I mean, begging pardon madam, try No. 7. (Aside.) An adventuress.

Mrs. T-K. I did try 7 and they said they couldn’t be pestered with other people’s callers. They were sure this is the right place.

Topp. A fig for their assurance! I wish people would mind their own business. (Aside.) Good Lord deliver me! (To Mrs. T-K.) Madam, go home and make an inventory of your attractions.

Mrs. T-K. Sir!

Topp. Schedule your charms!

Mrs. T-K. They are indeed very charming.

Topp. (Aside.) The brazen baggage! (To her.) Make out your specifications.
