Miss P. Miss Gray!
Fanny. A voice like a peacock.
Miss P. Miss Rice!
Hetty, Lizzie, and Fanny. O, she's awful!
Miss P. Young ladies! I'm astonished! I'm shocked! I'm thunderstruck! Miss Jones is my pupil. She is your associate. As such, you will respect her. Let me hear no more of this. Go to your studies. I highly respect Miss Jones. Imitate her. She's not given to conspiracies. She's not forever gossiping. Be like her, and you will deserve my respect. To your studies. Miss Jones is a model for your imitation.

Hetty. Did you ever!
Fanny. No, I never!
Lizzie. A model for imitation! Girls, we'll have some fun out of this. Imitate Miss Jones! I only hope she'll put on one of her chignons.
[Exeunt.
