Binny Remember the hold hadage. ``A still tongue shows a wise ead.''
Asa X Q's me.
Binny O, I, C. [Goes up.]
Flo [Comes down, L.] Well cousin, what have you to say to us? [Mary
comes down R. of Asa.]
Asa Wal, I ain't got no ring, to put in your noses, but I's got one to
put on your finger. [To Mary.] And I guess the sailor man has one to put
on yours, and I guess you two are as happy as clams at high water.
Flo I am sure you must be very happy.
Asa Wal, I am not so sure about my happiness.
Flo Why, you ungrateful fellow. What do want to complete it?
Asa [To Audience.] My happiness depends on you.
Flo And I am sure you will not regret your kindness shown to Our
American Cousin. But don't go yet, pray--for Lord Dundreary has a word
to say. [Calls Dundreary.]
Dun [Sneezes.] That's the idea.
