Mr. T. Why not try to get this estimable single party of high connections to marry one of our daughters?
Mrs. T. Josiah, how you talk!
Mr. T. That is a better scheme. If he takes Amelia he gets the twins thrown in, and if he takes Angie—
Mrs. T. For shame, Josiah, one would think that we were scheming for our dear children.
Mr. T. Oh, no! perish the thought! (Knock at door, R.)
Mrs. T. Hist! Go to the door. (Twiggs opens door R.)
Enter Mr. Topp.
Topp. Ah! excuse me! Is this Mr. Twiggs?
Twiggs. Yes, come in.
