Description:	BHSDale--He will probably try to shake hands with everyone. OverfriendlinessPeter--I have succeeded Cornelia, but I cant marry you. I decided to settle downto work after I left you. I began to succeed in my work. But I found that I had ceasedto care. I had just as well tell you the truth. I thought if you had really loved me youwould have been willing to marry me without great wealth.Cornelia--You are entirely right. I know now that I never really loved you. WhenI saw you to-night I fainted because I feared you had come to claim my promise.To-night my engagement to Frank Peake was announced.Peter--Let me congratulate you. I hope you will be very happy. I am now marriedto Jess Alsman and living very happily.Cornelia (clasping Peters hand)--Oh, Peter, I am glad things have turned out thisway.(Enter Frank.)Frank--Here are the two conspirators! Young man, what do you mean by cominghere and trying to steal my fiance? Answer me that. G-r-r-r-r.Peter--Mr. Peake, I have no intention of stealing Miss Vos from you. I wish tocongratulate you on being engaged to such a fine young lady.Frank--What kind of talk is this? You cant throw me off the track that way,Cornelia--Frank, dont be so jealous. I heard that Peter was dead and when I sawhim in the box I received such a shock that I fainted.Frank--Dont lie to me.Peter (taking the hint)--I was in a railroad wreck some time ago which disabledme for several weeks. This caused a false report to be circulated that I was dead. Iassure you I came here for no mean reason.Frank (sarcastically)--Oh. I suppose not, I suppose you werent even holding handswhen I came in.Cornelia--Frank, dont be so foolish. Peter and I were and still are very goodfriends, but no more. Peter is now married.Peter--I must be leaving. I hear music so I suppose the second act is beginning.I am very glad I got to see you both.Frank--Well, Ill take it for granted that you are telling the truth this time, Burk-halter. Goodbye. Come around and see us any time you are in the city.(Holds out his hand, which Peter clasps.)Cornelia--Goodbye Peter. Give my love to Jess. Bring her with you the next timeyou come. We will be at home at 3114 52nd Street after May the first. (Shakes handswith Peter.)Peter--Goodbye and good wishes. If you ever come to Ironton, Ohio, come and seeus. (Exits.)(Enter Mrs. Fuzziwigs.)Mrs. F.--The performance has begun. Are you two never coming back? Where isPeter?Cornelia---He has gone. We had a very pleasant chat. Run along Mrs. Fuzziwigs.Well come soon.Frank--Yes. After the first of May.(Curtain)Page sixty-two
