Well, a most ridiculous thing has happened, and I want Nellie to help me.

Nellie.

Me?

Mrs. Dot.

My dear, it’s so unfortunate, but my nephew has fallen head over ears in love with you.

Nellie.

Nonsense!

Mrs. Dot.

I can’t understand it. After all, he’s only seen you once, and you can’t have exchanged more than a dozen words.

Lady Sellenger.
