1st Mask. Are you dead?

2nd Mask. Only parts of me.

Enter Emma.

1st Mask. Lady, may I ask if you have any present intention of giving up the ghost, if so, perhaps I could——?

Emma. I am much obliged to you, but I have already made my own arrangements——

(A pair of jack-boots are carried across the stage.)

Emma. Are those, perhaps, the mortal remains of my Ulpho?

(Ulpho enters in carpet slippers.)

Ulpho. I am still alive, but I wear boots no more.
