_Flossie._ Then I shall think you've something to _conceal_, JACK--you wouldn't like me to feel that _already_, would you? [Illustration: "He blinks and smiles in feeble confusion."] [JACK, _resignedly, mounts the platform, and occupies a chair, in which he blinks and smiles in feeble confusion, while the_ Professor _studies his features dispassionately._ _The Lady Phys._ The first thing to notice is the disposition of the ears. Now here we have a Gentleman whose ears stick out in a very remarkable manner. [_Delight of Audience._ _Flossie_ (_to herself_). They _do_--awfully! I never noticed it before. But it really rather suits him; at least---- [_She meditates._ _The L. Ph._ This denotes an original and inquiring mind; this gentleman takes nothing on trust--likes to see everything for himself; he observes a good deal more than he ever says anything about. His nose is wide at the tip, showing a trustful and confiding disposition; it has a bump in the centre, denoting a moderate amount of combativeness. The nostrils indicate a keen sense of humour. (_Here_ JACK _giggles bashfully._) There is a twist in the upper lip, which indicates--well, I won't say that he would actually tell an _untruth_--but if he had the opportunity for doing so, he has the capacity for taking advantage of it. I think that is all I have to say about this Gentleman. _Flossie_ (_to_ JACK, _after he has returned to her side_). JACK, if you can't leave off having an original and inquiring mind, you must at least promise me _one_ thing--it's very little to ask! _Jack._ You know I'd do any blessed thing in the world for you FLOSSIE,--what is it? _Flossie._ Only to wear an elastic round your ears at night, JACK! _The Unsophisticated Father_ (_at the conclusion of the exhibition, as the Missing Lady disappears with a bang, in full view of the Audience_). There, VIVVIE; she's vanished clean away. What do you say to that, eh? _Vivien_ (_composedly_). Well, I think we may as well vanish too Father. It's all over! _The S. L._ (_going out_). I don't wish to judge _others_--far from it--but, speaking for myself, ELIZA, I _cannot_ feel this has been a profitable method of employing precious moments which can never be recalled. _Her Friend._ Oh, it's quite early. You'll have plenty of time to get a cup of tea, and do some shopping before it's dark. _The S. L._ (_severely_). That was not precisely what I _meant_, ELIZA! [_But it is precisely what she does._ * * * * * ADVERTISEMENT'S ADVERSARIES. ["A Society has been formed to deliver us from hideous advertisements." _The Saturday Review._] O newly-formed Society, we note with admiration The truly novel purpose which you seem to have at heart, And with no little eagerness await its consummation, When popular advertisements will shine as works of art.
