X MISS RICE; then MR. and MRS. CAMPBELL, and the OTHERS
Reading edition
Miss Rice, rushing in upon them, and clasping Miss Greenway in a fond embrace: "You needn't. Mrs. Campbell has told me; and oh, Nelly, I'm so happy for you! And isn't it all the greatest mix?"
Campbell, rushing in, and wringing Welling's hand: "You needn't tell me, either; I've been listening, and I've heard every word. I congratulate you, my dear boy! I'd no idea she'd let you up so easily. You'll allow yourself it isn't a very likely story."
Welling: "I know it. But—"
Miss Rice: "That's the very reason no one could have made it up."
Miss Greenway: "He couldn't have made up even a likely story."
Campbell: "Congratulate you again, Welling. Do you suppose she can keep so always?"
Mrs. Campbell, rushing in with extended hands: "Don't answer the wretch, Mr. Welling. Of course she can with you. Dansons!" She gives a hand to Miss Greenway and Welling each; the others join them, and as they circle round the table she sings,
"Sur le pont d'Avignon, Tout le monde y danse en rond."
