Scene II.
Reading edition
Parlor. Mr. Bruin alone.
Mr. B. Why doesn’t she come? She doesn’t usually keep me waiting.
Enter Florence.
F. How do you do? I am sorry to have kept you waiting.
Mr. B. I have not been here more than a few minutes. Your parlor is so warm this cold day that I could wait.
[Laughs.
F. You sent me some candy the other day which I liked very much.
Mr. B. Well, you liked the candy; so I pleased you. Now you can please me. I don’t care about presents; I had rather have something that can love me. You.
F. I do not love you.
[Exit Mr. Bruin.
