_Ann._ That did I. I stood at my chamber and saw it shine through
the wood.

_Nancy._ You couldn't see so far without spectacles.

_Olive._ Nancy, be quiet!

_Nancy._ You needn't color up and shake your head at me, Olive.
They stood kissing there nigh an hour, and he with his arm round her
waist, and she with hers round his neck. They'd kiss, then they'd
eye each other and kiss again. I know I woke up and thought 'twas

_Phoebe._ Oh, Nancy, why didn't you wake me up?

_Olive._ Nancy, I'll have no more of this.

_Nancy._ That's what she ought to have said last night--hadn't she,
Ann? But she didn't. Oh, I'll warrant she didn't! I know you would,
Ann.

_Olive._ Nancy! [_A noise is heard outside._
