Enter Kitty, L.

Kitty. O, aunt Hopkins! Where's mother?

Aunt H. Land sakes! I don't know no more than the child unborn!

Kitty. Dear me! Here are Mrs. Fastone and Dora coming up the steps! What shall I do?

Aunt H. Why, let 'em in, of course!

Kitty. Has my new bonnet come yet?

Aunt H. Indeed it has! And sich a beauty!

Kitty. O, I'm so glad! But where is it?

Aunt H. Down there behind the table. I hain't teched it; only jest took a peep.

Kitty. I'll let Miss Dora see that some people can dress as well as some other people. Aunt Hopkins, you must manage to draw attention to my new bonnet while the visitors are here, to give me an opportunity to show it.
