Her morning tub. In speech with her the while
Is Robert. He is dressed in riding style.
Sibyl—Why, Bob, it’s you! They got your name all wrong.
I’m sorry that I made you wait so long.
Bob— Only six minutes by my watch—it’s true
A minute seems a year, awaiting you!
But Time is merciful and I rejoice
That I am still alive to hear your voice.
Sibyl—A very pretty speech, for you, indeed.
But what extenuation can you plead
