Scene I.
Reading edition
Parlor at Mrs. Evans’s. Florence Evans alone. Enter Annie.
A. Well, Florence, Bruin is going to make an offer, I suppose.
F. Why so?
A. Here’s a pound of candy from him. He said he had bought it for you, but on arriving he was afraid it was too trifling a gift; but hoping you would not throw it away, he requested me to give it to that virtuous young lady, as he calls you.
F. Well, I am young, but I did not know that I was virtuous.
A. I think you are.
