Ah, you are strong,—I would not then be cruel,

If I were you!

Nellie. One does not like one’s feelings to be doubted,—

Frank. One does not like one’s friends to misconstrue,—

Nellie. If I confess that I a wee-bit pouted?

Frank. I should admit that I was piqué, too.

Nellie. Ask me to dance. I’d say no more about it,

If I were you!

(Waltz. Exeunt.)
