SCENE III.
Miss Withrington's Dressing-room. Enter Mariane, who turns back again towards the door, and calls to Agnes without.
Mar. Agnes, cousin Agnes, where are you going?
Ag. (Without.) I am returning to Miss Eston, whom I have left in the parlour, talking to the dog.
Mar. Well let her talk to the dog a little longer, and let me talk to you.

Ag. No, no, my sweet Mariane! we must send him off with eclat. You have played your part
