Last night you said——

Sibyl— I beg to be excused

From keeping foolish promises, when made

At two A. M., by moonlight. I’m afraid

My memory’s no better than a sieve.

So you expected me? The Lord forgive

Your trusting soul!

Bob— It is His metier!

Sibyl—Don’t be outrageous, or I’ll run away.

Bob— Ah, no; don’t go. I will be good, I swear!
