_Enter_ CORYDON.

_Corydon_. But hush: I am interrupted. [_Exit_ CORYDON.

_Enter_ OLD HUMBUG _and his_ SON, _talking_.

_Old Hum_. It is for that reason that I wish you to follow my advice.
Are you convinced of its propriety?

_Young Hum_. I am, sir, and will certainly act in the manner you have
pointed out to me.

_Old Hum_. Then let us return to the house. [_Exeunt_.

SCENE II.--_A parlour in_ HUMBUG'S _house_. MRS. HUMBUG _and_ FANNY
_discovered at work_.

_Mrs. Hum_. You understand me, my love?

_Fanny_. Perfectly, ma'am: pray continue your narration.

_Mrs. Hum_. Alas! it is nearly concluded; for I have nothing more to say
on the subject.

_Fanny_. Ah! here is Daphne.

_Enter_ DAPHNE.

_Daphne_. My dear Mrs. Humbug, how d'ye do? Oh! Fanny, it is all over.
