Cyril. I meant my sire—
Hilar. I thought you meant your “dam”!
Enter Lady Psyche from gate, attended.
Psyche. Who summons us?
Hilar.Three would-be students, ma’am—
Three noble ladies, ma’am, of good estate,
Who wish to join this University (they courtesy).
Psyche. If, as you say, you wish to join our ranks,
And will conform with all our rules, ’tis well;
But understand—you must adapt yourselves
