That's the natural buff
tipped off with a little red paint.
Bin Good gracious, he'd look like Hadam and Heve, in the garden of Eden.
[Exit Binny.]
Asa Wal, there's a queer lot of fixings. [Sees shower bath.]
What on airth is that? Looks like a 'skeeter net, only it 'ain't
long enough for a feller to lay down in unless he was to coil
himself up like a woodchuck in a knot hole. I'd just like to know
what the all-fired thing is meant for. [Calls.] Say Puffy, Puffy,
Oh! he told me if I wanted him to ring the bell. [Looks round room.]
Where on airth is the bell? [Slips partly inside shower bath, pulls rope,
water comes down.] Murder! help! fire! Water! I'm drown.
Enter Skillet, Sharpe, R. 1 E. Binny, Buddicombe, L. 1 E.,
seeing Asa, all laugh, and keep it up till curtain falls.
CURTAIN.
ACT II
Scene 1.--Oriel Chamber in one.
Enter Mrs. Mountchessington and Augusta, L. 1 E., dressed for
Archery Meeting.
Mrs M No, my dear Augusta, you must be very careful.
I don't by any means want you to give up De Boots, his expectations
are excellent, but, pray be attentive to this American savage,
as I rather think he will prove the better match of the two,
if what I hear of Mark Trenchard's property be correct.
