Richard. Hullo!

Clifton [to himself]. Now where did I put those papers? [He hums to himself again.] Now where—oh, I beg your pardon! I left some papers behind.

Viola. Dick, you'll tell him. [As she goes out, she says to Clifton.] Good-by, Mr. Clifton, and thank you for writing such nice letters.

Clifton. Good-by, Miss Crawshaw.

Viola. Just say it to see how it sounds.

Clifton. Good-by, Miss Wurzel-Flummery.

Viola [smiling happily]. No, not Miss, Mrs. [She goes out.]

Richard. Yes; and I'm taking the money after all, Mr. Clifton.
