ACT III.
Scene. House of Mr. Topp as in Act I.
Enter Ginger, showing in Mrs. T-K., L.
Gin. Massa Topp’ll be in soon. I’ll take your cahd.
Mrs. T-K. Just say a lady.
Gin. Yes’m. (Exit Gin. R.)
Mrs. T-K. Oh, I’m in such a state! What if Angie is right after all and Mr. Topp is in love with her? (Sighs.) Ah, well! I did think he admired me and then his asking me to write about dear Twiggsie and Dixie. But I just couldn’t write all about them, they’re so charming. To tell him in a confidential way will be much nicer. Pa is sure to bungle matters. Men always do. I must see Mr. Topp and make sure of this golden opportunity for my precious boys. If he should marry, perhaps he wouldn’t want to adopt twins. No, of course not. How absurd. Oh, dear, what a complication! What shall I do?
Enter Mrs. Dubbledam, R.
Mrs. D. Goot mornin’ lady. You waits for sompody?
Mrs. T-K. I want to see Mr. Topp.
