(Curtain.)
Scene V.—The street. A very, very desirable residence, with well-laid-out grounds in rear. Brougham waiting. (It is not intended to attempt to describe the extraordinary mechanical methods employed to bring about this sensational change of scene, seeing that a journey is about to be made from St. John's Wood to the Criterion Theatre, Piccadilly. It is unnecessary and useless, for no theatrical manager, be he professional or amateur, would attempt it.)
The Modern Mathews leads the way down steps followed by Interviewer.
The Modern Mathews (aside to Interviewer): Have a good look at the coachman on the quiet. (Interviewer does so. Both enter brougham.)
