ACT III.--A Scene never to be forgotten--the Mermaiden's Well

(quite well, thank you), by HAWES CRAVEN, henceforth to be HAWES

McCRAVENSWOOD. Pines, heather, sunlight, and two picturesque lovers,

Master and Miss, exchanging vows. Master gloomy, Miss lively. Miss

promises to become Missus. Enter Master's future Modern Mother-in-law.

Intended to be vindictive, but really a comfortable and comely body.

Might be _Mrs. McBouncer_ in _McBox and McCox_. Naturally enough, off

goes Master to France.

Feather." An entertainment on the sands.]
