SIMON. Godfather says that they sometimes yawn till they get a lock-jaw; that’s why they have just advertised in the papers for somebody to read to them.

FRANK. Read to them!

SIMON. Yes, a young lady.

FRANK. (quickly) Ah, there is a young lady here?

SIMON. No, sir, she hasn’t come yet.

FRANK. What a pity!

SIMON. And they won’t want a young lady now they have engaged me.

FRANK. (laughing) But you are not a young lady.
