ROSALINE. Clean as a new pin. Come on if you mean it, there's no time to waste. Now or never? HENRICH SCHERCL. (_Going into cupboard, gingerly_). I am certain it is not glean. (ROSALINE _shuts the door and turns as_ MRS. SYLVESTER _re-enters with_ MRS. TEMPENNY). MRS. SYLVESTER. I told you so! Here she is as bold as brass. Now what do you say to that? MRS. TEMPENNY. If indeed my husband brought her here--if he has really assisted Mr. Sylvester to deceive you-- MRS. SYLVESTER. (_Scornfully_). "IF!" The creature does not deny it. Speak, girl. ROSALINE. Good afternoon. MRS. SYLVESTER. "Good afternoon?" It isn't a "good afternoon" I want you to say. Speak, I tell you. ROSALINE. What shall we talk about?

If you did not bring this person here, sir, how did she come? REMBRANDT TEMPENNY. How? CHARLES SYLVESTER. Yes, sir--how? REMBRANDT TEMPENNY. How do I know? MRS. SYLVESTER and MRS. TEMPENNY. What is all this? Oh, good gracious, the men have been fighting! ROSALINE (_aside_). _I_ know what it is--it's spoof. MRS. SYLVESTER. (_Rushing to_ CHARLES SYLVESTER).
