KATE. [_Still at the window_.] Quick! quick!

ARMSTRONG. Stow me away among your rubbish.

[ROSE _urges them off_. WALTER _snatches a kiss from_ ROSE'S _hand as
he exits with_ BRIDGET.

KATE. I do declare Captain Arbald is below, and I am sadly deranged.

ROSE. Oh, fearfully! Run to your glass, by all means. Set your
springes, for these red birds are rare game.

KATE. Sister! But I'll be revenged. [_Exit_ KATE.

_Enter_ MAJOR CLEVELAND, _ushered in by_ LIEUTENANT ELSWORTH, _who
withdraws_.

ELSWORTH. My dear Major Cleveland, let me welcome you zealously to
this abode.

CLEVELAND. A great many thanks, my dear Elsworth. I'm delighted to
meet so true-hearted a loyalist. We pushed our march to partake of
your hospitality. Ah, Miss Elsworth! How shall I express my delight in
finding that Time, who deals so inexorably with us, has been induced
to favour you. It gives me infinite pleasure, Miss Elsworth, to meet
you once again, for the recollection of the occasions we have met
previously are bright spots in my memory.

ROSE. Oh, sir, I thank you.
