Page 27 Mary.
You know him?
Lady Boycott.
Why, he has
An uncle - or aunt's husband I should say -
And cousins - pretty too, the girls - who live
Not far from Boycott Hall. Sometimes he comes
To see them: I have met him there. They say
He's growing famous at the bar, rich too -
A very rising man. I give you joy.
A husband with both means and merit! Why,
You must have sold your soul to have such luck,
Signed a red bond to Satan.
Mary.
Well I think
We shall know how to cheat him. He'll not gain
Much by our marriage.
Lady Boycott.
Mary, promise me
You'll not betray me to your Lionel,
I would not have your lover know the trash
I've told you now. Weak baby trash enough,
But still my secret, Mary.
Mary.
No indeed,
He'll never know it.
Lady Boycott.
No, he'll never know it.
Mary.
Listen! He's there. He thought he might be kept
Until to-morrow. But I knew he'd come.
Lady Boycott.
Dear, go to him. I'm tired. I'll rest to-night.
You'll say I'm tired - Or no, I'll follow you.
'Twill seem strange to your mother. Presently
I'll follow. Go to him.
Mary.
Well if I must.
(Exit Mary.)
