Oh, what dull trash! (_Throws -magazine down._) Ah, me! I can take no interest even in Trollope. -Life is a blank. (_Comes forward._) Did ever any girl suffer as I do? -Nothing to do, nobody to see,--only father to talk to, and he deaf as -a post! (_Sits and looks at vase of flowers._) Well, I'll not stand -_this_. These flowers have been here four days. Disgraceful! (_Rings._) -Jane! (_Rings again. Enter JANE with a letter, in flat._) Jane, how -_can_ you be so neglectful? Look at these old dead flowers. Throw them -away, and get me fresh at once. - -JANE. Yes, miss. Your pa is not here, miss? - -EGLANTINE (_jumps up_). No. Is it a caller? - -JANE. No, miss: a letter. - -EGLANTINE. Only a letter! oh, dear! Never any visitors; nothing but -letters now, and none of them for me. I shall die, or go mad. (_Sits._) - -JANE. Yes, miss: your pa is a very sot man, and won't never see no -company, since he grew hard of hearing, three years ago. (_Takes the -flowers from vase._) - -EGLANTINE. O Jane! how can I bear it? Life is so dull, so dull! -(_Sobs._) - -JANE (_wiping lamp-glass_). Yes, miss. And think of me, miss: took into -service for my voice, and obligated to holler at your pa all day long. -Holler? Yes; yell and scream, I calls it. - -EGLANTINE. Has nothing been heard from that aurist papa wrote to a -month ago! - -JANE. No, miss; not a word. Dear, dear! I shall be a dummy in six -months, I'm sure. I hain't no more voice now than a frog. - -EGLANTINE. Ha, ha! It's very sad, Jane. Ha, ha, ha! - -JANE. Don't laugh at the misfortunate, Miss Eglantine: 'tain't lucky. - -EGLANTINE. Forgive me, Jane: I didn't mean to. I believe I'm -hysterical; and no wonder,--shut up by myself like this, at nineteen. - -JANE. No wonder you finds it a bit dull, miss. I don't wonder at -it,--not a mite. - -EGLANTINE. And papa seems resolved to keep me unmarried. Half a dozen -proposals already! and he's refused them all. - -JANE. Yes, miss; so he have. He says regular, "Not the son-in-law for -me." What kind does he expect, I wonder? A angel? - -EGLANTINE. I'm afraid so, Jane. And it's got so bad that nobody now has -the courage to offer, a refusal is so certain. (_Sobs._) Or else I'm -sure that gentleman who danced the whole evening with me a month ago at -Lady Thornton's-- - -JANE. Yes, miss: I've heard you mention him often. - -EGLANTINE. He was dying to offer himself, I'm sure, from the way he -looked at me. But somebody has warned him, of course. (_Weeps._) O -Jane, how tedious, how tedious life is! - -JANE. Yes, miss; tedious as tedious! But here comes master. Where is -that letter? Oh! here it be. - - (_Enter SINGLETON CODDLE, door R._) - -CODDLE (_book in hand, from which he reads._) "Deafness is one of the -most distressing afflictions which can attack mankind." Ah! distressing -indeed! How true! how profoundly true! - -JANE (_shouts in his ear_). A letter for you, sir. (_Holds it before -his eyes._) - -CODDLE. Ah, Jane! you here? And Eglantine too. (_Takes letter._) You -needn't stick letters into my eye, Jane: you only need tell me you have -them. (_Sits._) - -EGLANTINE. Possibly another offer for me. If I could only manage to -peep over his shoulder! - -JANE. No need, miss. He's sure to read it out. He can't never hear his -own voice, and don't know but he's reading to himself. He thinks out -loud too; and I knows every thing he has on his mind. It's quite a -blessing, really. - -CODDLE. (_Puts on glasses; catches sight of EGLANTINE._) Tut, tut, -Eglantine! Go away, child. This is for me, not you. Ten to one it's -confidential too! (_Crosses left, and reads aloud._) "My dear Coddle, -I flatter myself I have found a son-in-law to your taste at last,--a -nephew of mine, young, well educated, brilliant, and rich. Yours truly, -Pottle." - -JANE. Didn't I tell you so, miss? - -CODDLE. Ah! all very well, all very well, friend Pottle; but not the -man for _me_. - -JANE. There, miss, just what I told ye. - -EGLANTINE. I shall be in despair; I shall go crazy. - -JANE. Easy, miss, easy. Don't go into no tantrums. For mercy's sake, -calm yourself. - -EGLANTINE. Calm myself! When life is the same dull round day after day! -Calm myself! When I never see even a strange cat! Calm myself! Oh, I -cannot endure it! (_Exit R., furious._) - -JANE (_carrying out the vase_). Poor young critter! Her pa ain't got no -sense.--Ugh! you old yaller dog! (_Exit L._) - -CODDLE. Ah! deafness is indeed a distressing affliction. (_Shakes -his head. A pause._) Still every cloud has its silver side. Without -my deafness I never could have survived the conversation--God -forgive me!--of my poor dear wife. It killed her; for, finding me -providentially beyond her reach, her loquacity struck in, and--there -she was. But now an inscrutable Providence has taken her from me, -(_Sighs deeply_) it would console me to hear a little. The doctors -say they can do nothing. Ignorant rascals! I wrote to a fellow who -advertises to cure deafness instantaneously by electro-acoustico -magnetism, and the impudent impostor hasn't taken the trouble to -answer. The whole world seems determined to thwart me. (_Takes -book again, and reads._) "In treating deafness, it should first be -ascertained whether the tympanum be thickened or perforated, and -whether also the minute bones of the auricular organ are yet intact." -(_Sticks little finger in his ear._) I _think_ they're all right. -(_Reads._) "And, further, be certain that the Eustachian tube is free -from obstruction." I wonder whether my Eustachian tube is obstructed. I -must get Jane to look. I wonder where she is. Jane! (_Rings. Enter JANE -L.; drops flower-pot._) Jane! - -JANE. He don't hear nothing. It's quite a pleasure to smash things when -he's round. - -CODDLE. Jane! - -JANE (_picks up pieces_). Bah! who cares for you? I'll answer when I'm -ready. - -CODDLE. Jane! - -JANE. Oh, call away! (_Throws pieces out of window._) Heads there! - -CODDLE. Jane! (_Rises._) I must go for her. (_Sees her at window; -shouts in her ear._) Jane! - -JANE (_puts hands to ears_). Mercy! - -CODDLE. This is the fifteenth time I've called you. Are you deaf? - -JANE (_courtesies_). Yes, old wretch,--deaf when I want to be. (_Both -come down._) - -CODDLE. What do you say? - -JANE. Pop, pop, pop, old bother! I'd like to wring your bothersome neck. - -CODDLE. Yes, fine weather indeed. Look into my ear, Jane, and tell me -whether my Eustachian tube is obstructed. - -JANE. Eustachian tube? What is the old fool after now? - -CODDLE. Look in. Why don't you look in? - -JANE (_shouts_). What for, sir? - -CODDLE. Eustachian tube. - -JANE (_shouts_). I can't see nothing, sir. - -CODDLE. What do you say? - -JANE. Drat him! (_Shouts._) I can't see _nothing_. - -CODDLE. Jane, I hope you're not losing your voice. You don't speak half -so loudly as usual. - -JANE (_sulkily_). Perhaps I'd better have it swabbed out, then. - -CODDLE. Luncheon's ready, do you say? Rather early, isn't it? Jane, I -like you, do you know, because you're such an intelligent creature. - -JANE (_shouts_). Yes, sir. - -CODDLE. And so much attached to _me_. - -JANE (_shouts_). Yes, sir. - -CODDLE. Yes: a very faithful, good, affectionate servant, Jane. I -haven't forgotten you in my will, Jane. You'll find I've got you -down there. I won't say how much, but something handsome, depend on -it,--something handsome. (_Sits down, and takes up book again._) - -JANE. Something handsome! Five hundred dollars! I've heard him say so -a score of times. He calls that handsome for busting my voice in his -service. The old rat! I hate such mean goings-on. (_Cries outside._) - -VOICES. Stop him, stop him! - -JANE (_runs to window_). Eh? what's that? (_Gun fired under window._) - -CODDLE. Yes, Jane, you'll be satisfied, I promise you. (_Another gun -heard._) Heaven will reward you for your care of me, my faithful girl. -(_Looks up._) Why, where the devil has the woman gone to? - -JANE (_at window_). Good gracious! I say, you feller down there! Lord -'a' mercy! Get away from here! This is private property. - -CODDLE (_goes to window_). Why, Jane, you seem quite excited. - -JANE (_shouts in his ear_). Man with a gun in your garden, smashing the -melon-frames, treading on the flower-beds!--Hey, you feller! Police! -(_Noise of breaking glass._) - -CODDLE (_looks out_). The villain is smashing every thing I have in -the world! Another melon-frame! Jane, hand me my gun! I'll shoot the -rascal! (_Seizes gun, JANE takes up a broom._) Follow me, Jane; follow -me. The infernal scoundrel! - -JANE. Drat the impident rogue! (_Both exeunt door in flat._) - - (_Enter WASHINGTON WHITWELL, left, gun in hand. Slams door behind - him, advances on tiptoe, finger on trigger--glances around._) - -WHITWELL. Wrong again. Not here. What can have become of the creature! -(_Sets gun down._) He certainly ran into this house! Egad! whose -house is it, by the way? Never saw a finer hare in my life. In all -my experience I never saw a finer hare! I couldn't have bought him -in the market under thirty cents. (_Rises._) He's cost me a pretty -penny, though. Up at six for a day's shooting. Dog starts a hare in ten -minutes. Aim! Hare goes off, gun don't. Bad cap. Off _I_ go, however, -hot foot after him. He runs into a thicket. Rustic appears. I hail him. -"Hallo, friend! A dollar if you'll start out that hare." A dollar for a -hare worth thirty cents! say thirty-five. Out he comes; dog after him. -Aim again. This time gun goes off, dog don't. Shot him. Worth forty -dollars. Total so far, forty-one dollars. Load again. Hare gives me a -run of five miles. Stop to rest; drop asleep. Wake up, and see hare not -ten yards away, munching a cabbage. Gun again, and after him. He jumps -over a fence; _I_ jump over a fence. He comes down on his fore-paws; -_I_ come down on my fore-paws. He recovers his equilibrium; I recover -mine (on the flat of my back). Suddenly I observe myself to be hunted -by an army of rustics, my dollar friend among them,--well-meaning -people, no doubt,--armed with flails, forks, harrows, and ploughs, and -greedy for my life. They shout; I run. And here I am, after smashing -fifty dollars' worth of glass and things! Total, including dog, -ninety-one dollars, not to mention fine for breaking melon-frames by -some miserable justice's court, say twenty dollars more! Grand total, -let me see: yes, a hundred and twenty dollars, more or less, for a -hare worth thirty-five cents! say forty. (_Noise outside._) Ha! no -rest for the wicked here. (_Picks up gun, rushes for door in flat--met -by CODDLE; runs to door at left--met by JANE._) Caught, by Jupiter! -(_Falls into a chair._) - -CODDLE. We've got the villain. Seize him, Jane, seize him! - -JANE. Surrender, young man, in the name of the Continental Congress. -(_Collars him, and takes away his gun._) - -WHITWELL. This is a pretty fix. - -CODDLE. How dare you, sir, violate my privacy? knock down my walls? -smash my melon-frames? fire your abominable gun under my window, sir? - -JANE. Lord 'a' mercy! The young man might have killed me. Oh, you -assassinating wretch! - -CODDLE. The police will have a few words to say to you before you're an -hour older, you burglar! - -WHITWELL. The deuce! - -CODDLE. What's your name, sir? - -JANE. Ay, what's your name? Tell us that. This is a hanging matter, I'd -have you to know. - -WHITWELL (_stammering_). My name? er--er--Whit--no--er--mat. - -JANE (_shouts in CODDLE'S ear_). He says his name is Whittermat. Furrin -of course. Mercy! what an escape! - -WHITWELL (_aside_). Good idea that. I'm a foreigner! I'll keep it up. - -JANE. Didn't you hear me call to you, you man-slaughterer? Are you deaf? - -WHITWELL (_aside_). Deaf! Another good idea. I'll keep _that_ up. - -CODDLE. What does he say, Jane? - -JANE. He don't say nothink, sir. - -WHITWELL (_aside_). Now for it. May I ask for a bit of paper? (_Makes -signs of writing._) - -CODDLE. What does the scamp say? - -JANE (_shouts_). He wants some paper. - -CODDLE. Paper! Impudent scoundrel! I'll paper him, and ink him too! - -WHITWELL. (_Sees paper on table._) Ah! (_Sits._) - -JANE. He's going to write some wizard thing. He'll vanish in a flame of -fire, I warrant ye! - -WHITWELL (_gives paper to JANE_). Here, young woman. - -JANE (_to CODDLE_). Take it, sir. I dar'n't hold it. Ugh! - -CODDLE. What's this? "I am afflicted with total deafness." Ha, -delightful! He says he's deaf. Thank Heaven for all its mercies. He's -deaf. Stone deaf! - -JANE. Deef! - -CODDLE. So you're deaf, eh? (_Points to ears._) Deaf? - -WHITWELL. Third term, by all means. You're right. Gen. Grant, as you -say, of course. - -CODDLE. Deaf! He is indeed. A Heaven-sent son-in-law! My idea realized! -Heaven has heard my prayers at last. - -JANE. Son-in-law! Mercy presarve us all! - -CODDLE. Delightful young man! I must have a little confidential talk -with him, Jane. But don't you go. - -JANE. A deef son-in-law! Lord 'a' mercy! must I have a pair on 'em on -my hands! - -CODDLE. My afflicted friend, pray take a chair. (_WHITWELL takes no -notice._) Delicious! he don't hear a sound. (_Louder._) Take a seat. -(_Shouts._) Seat! - -WHITWELL (_bows_). Nothing to eat: thanks. - -CODDLE. Charming! Overflowing with intellect. Never again disbelieve in -special providences. (_Signs to WHITWELL to sit down._) - -WHITWELL (_points to easy-chair_). After you, venerable sir. - -CODDLE. The manners of a prince of the blood! Kind Heaven, I thank -thee! (_Both sit._) - -JANE. Deary me, deary me! A pair of posts, like, and nary a trumpet -between 'em, except me. - -CODDLE (_looks at WHITWELL_). Young man, you look surprised at the -interest I take in you. - -WHITWELL. No, sir, I prefer shad. - -CODDLE. What does he say? (_Jumps up._) Jane, who knows but he's -already married! (_Sits, shouts._) Have you a wife? - -WHITWELL. Yes, sir; always with a knife. - -JANE (_shouts_). Have you a wife? A wife? - -WHITWELL. All my life? Yes. - -JANE (_shouts_). I say, have you a wife? - -WHITWELL. A wife? No. - -JANE. Drat him! he's single, and marries Eglantine for sartain. - -CODDLE. He said no, I thought. (_Shouts._) Are you a bachelor? -(_Shouts._) A bachelor? Bachelor? (_Projects his ear._) - -WHITWELL. Yes. - -CODDLE (_shouts_). What do you say? - -WHITWELL (_roars_). Yes! By Jove, _he's_ deaf, and no mistake. - -CODDLE. He said yes, didn't he? (_Rises._) A bachelor! Glorious! -(_Roars._) Will you dine with us? - -WHITWELL. Lime-juice? with the shad? delicious! - -CODDLE. Dine with us? - -WHITWELL. With the greatest pleasure. - -CODDLE. Haven't the leisure? Oh, yes, you have! We'll dine early. I'll -take no refusal.--Jane, dinner at five. - -JANE. Yes, sir. (_Courtesies._) Yah, old crosspatch! with your -providential son-in-laws, and your bachelors, and your dine-at-fives. - -CODDLE. No, thank you, Jane; not fish-balls. Curried lamb I prefer. Go, -give the order at once. - -JANE. Bah! with your fish-balls and your curries. Oh, if it wasn't for -that trumpery legacy! Yah! (_Exit L., snarling._) - -CODDLE. Faithful Jane; invaluable friend! What should I do without her? - -WHITWELL (_loudly_). My dear sir, is it possible you suffer such -insolence? - -CODDLE (_shouts_). You're quite right. Yes, a perfect treasure, my -young friend. A model, I assure you. - -WHITWELL (_aside_). Well, after that, deaf isn't the word for it. - -CODDLE (_rises, shuts doors and window, sets gun in corner, then sits -near WHITWELL. Shouts._) Now, my _dear_ friend, let us have a little -talk; a confidential talk, eh! - -WHITWELL. Confidential, in a bellow like that! - -CODDLE (_shouts_). I wish to be perfectly frank. I asked you to dinner, -not that you might eat. - -WHITWELL (_aside_). What for, then, I'd like to know? - -CODDLE (_shouts_). Had you been a married man, I would have sent you -to jail with pleasure; but you're a bachelor. Now, I'm a father, with -a dear daughter as happy as the day is long. Possibly in every respect -you may not suit her. - -WHITWELL (_picks up hat_). Does the old dolt mean to insult me! - -CODDLE (_shouting_). But you suit _me_, my friend, to a T; and I offer -you her hand, plump, no more words about it. - -WHITWELL. Sir; (_Aside._) She's humpbacked, I'll stake my life, a -dromedary! - -CODDLE (_shouts_). Between ourselves, sir,--in the strictest -confidence, mind,--she will bring you a nest-egg of fifty thousand -dollars. - -WHITWELL (_aside_). A double hump, then, beyond all doubt. Not a -dromedary,--a camel! a backtrian! (_Bows._) (_Shouts._) Sir, I -appreciate the honor, but I--(_Going._) - -CODDLE. Not so fast; you can't go to her yet. If you could have heard a -word she said, you shouldn't have my daughter. Do you catch my idea? - -WHITWELL (_shouts_). With great difficulty, like my hare. - -CODDLE (_shouts_). Perhaps you may not have noticed that I'm a trifle -deaf. - -WHITWELL. Ha, ha! a trifle deaf! I should say so. (_Shouts._) I think I -did notice it. - -CODDLE. A little hard of hearing, so to speak. - -WHITWELL (_shouts_). You must be joking. - -CODDLE. Effect of smoking? Tut! I never smoke,--or hardly ever. You -see, young man, I live here entirely alone with my daughter. She talks -with nobody but _me_, and is as happy as a bird the livelong day. - -WHITWELL (_aside_). She must have a sweet old time of it. - -CODDLE. Now, suppose I were to take for a son-in-law one of the dozen -who have already teased my life out for her,--a fellow with his ears -entirely normal: of course they'd talk together in their natural -voice, and force me to be incessantly calling out, "What's that you're -saying?" "I can't hear; say that again." You understand? Ah! the -young are so selfish. The thing's preposterous, of course. Now, with -a son-in-law like yourself,--deaf as a door-post,--this annoyance -couldn't happen. You'd shout at your wife, she'd shout back, of course, -and I'd hear the whole conversation. Catch the idea? - -WHITWELL (_shouts_). Fear? Oh, no! I ain't afraid. (_Aside._) The old -scoundrel looks out for number one, don't he? - - (_Enter JANE, door in F., with visiting-card._) - -CODDLE (_shouts_). It's a bargain, then? Shake hands on it, my boy. I -get an audible son-in-law, you, a charming wife. - -WHITWELL (_aside_). Charming, eh? Ah! she with a double hump on her -back, and he has the face to say she's charming. - -JANE. Oh, dear! we're in for another deefy in the family. (_Shouts._) A -gentleman to see you, sir. - -CODDLE. Partridges? Yes, Jane, they'll do nicely. (_Shouts._) Now, my -boy, before you see your future bride, you'll want to fix up a little, -eh? (_Points to door, R._) Step in there, my dear friend, and arrange -your dress. - -WHITWELL (_shakes his head_). (_Shouts._) Distress? Not a bit. It -delights me, sir. (_Aside._) This scrape I'm in begins to look -alarming. - -CODDLE. The dear boy! he _is_ deaf, indeed. (_Pushes him out._) Be -off, lad, be off. Find all you want in there. (_Motions to brush his -hair, &c._) Brushes, combs, collars, and a razor. (_Exit WHITWELL, R._) -I felt certain a merciful Providence would send me the right husband -for Eglantine at last. Jane, you here yet? Set the table for four, -remember. Every thing's settled. He accepts. What have you there? a -card? - -JANE (_shouts_). Yes, sir. Oh, you old botheration! - -CODDLE. Good heavens! - -JANE. Lawks! what now? - -CODDLE. The man himself. - -JANE. What man? Land's sake! he'll be the death of me. - -CODDLE. In the library at this moment! Dear, faithful, affectionate -Jane, wish me joy! The doctor has come at last! (_Exit R. 1 E._) - - (_EGLANTINE enters R. as her father runs out._) - -EGLANTINE. Jane, is any thing the matter with papa? Isn't he well? - -JANE. Yes, miss, he's well enough. He's found that son-in-law of -his'n,--that angel! - -EGLANTINE. Angel? son-in-law? - -JANE. That's all the matter with _him_. - -EGLANTINE. Son-in-law? Good heavens! Where is he? - -JANE. In that there room, a-cleaning hisself. - -EGLANTINE. Did you see him? Is he young? Is he handsome? - -JANE (_impressively_). You've heared of the sacrifice of Abraham, Miss -Eglantine? - -EGLANTINE. Certainly. - -JANE (_slowly_). Well, 'tain't a circumstance to the sacrifice of -Coddle! - -EGLANTINE. Jane, what do you mean? - -JANE. Maybe you know, miss, that, in the matter of hearing, your pa is -deficient? - -EGLANTINE. Yes, yes! Go on. - -JANE (_slowly_). Alongside of the feller he's picked out for your beau, -your pa can hear the grass grow on the mounting-top, easy! - -EGLANTINE. Deaf? - -JANE. Not deef, miss; deef ain't a touch to it. - -EGLANTINE. Deaf? it's out of the question! I won't have him! I refuse -him! A hundred thousand times I refuse such a husband. - -JANE. Quite right, miss. He'd be the death of me. Your pa can't marry -you without your consent: don't give it. - -EGLANTINE. Never! They don't know me. Cruel! cruel! (_Weeps._) - -JANE. So it be, Miss Eglantine; so it be. I never see the beat on't. -Better give him the mitten out of hand, miss. - -EGLANTINE. Instantly, if he were here. The wretch! How dare he? - -JANE. I'll call him. (_To door. Knocks._) Mr. Whittermat! I say!--He's -furrin, miss.--Mr. Whittermat! (_Knocks furiously._) - - (_WHITWELL comes out of chamber; sees EGLANTINE._) - -WHITWELL (_aside_). Ha! my partner at Lady Thornton's! - -EGLANTINE (_aside_). Why, this is the gentleman I danced with at Sir -Edward's! What nonsense is this about his being deaf? Jane, this -gentleman hears as well as I do myself. What do you mean? - -JANE. Does he, miss? Reckon not. You shall see. - -WHITWELL (_aside_). How annoying I can't give a hint to Miss Coddle! If -that troublesome minx were only out of the way, now! - -JANE (_in ordinary voice_). Young man, you may suit Mr. Coddle, and I -des'say you does, but you don't suit _here_. So git up and git. - -EGLANTINE. Jane! - -JANE. Pshaw! Miss Eglantine, he can't hear nary a sound. - -WHITWELL (_aside_). _You_ couldn't, if my finger and thumb were to meet -on your ear, you vixen! (_To EGLANTINE._) Miss Coddle is excessively -kind to receive me with such condescending politeness. - -JANE. Ha, ha, ha! I told you so, Miss Eglantine. He thinks I paid him a -compliment, sartain as yeast. - -EGLANTINE. Very strange! When I met this poor gentleman at Lady -Thornton's, he was not afflicted in this way. - -JANE. Wasn't he, miss? Well, he's paying for all his sins now. It's -providential, I've no doubt. - -WHITWELL (_aloud_). Pity me, Miss Coddle. A dreadful misfortune has -befallen me since I had the pleasure of meeting you at the Thorntons'. -My horse fell with me, and in falling I struck on my head. I have been -totally deaf ever since. - -EGLANTINE. Poor, poor young man! My heart bleeds for him. - -WHITWELL. Ordinary conversation I am incapable of hearing; but you, -Miss Coddle, whose loveliness has never been absent from my memory -since that happy day, you I am certain I could understand with ease. My -eyes will help me to interpret the movements of your lips. Speak to me, -and the poor sufferer whose sorrows awake your healing pity will surely -hear. - -EGLANTINE. Can this be possible? - -WHITWELL. You said, "Can this be possible?" I am sure. - -EGLANTINE. Yes. - -WHITWELL. I knew it. - -JANE. The dickens! Can he hear with his eyes? (_Aside._) I hope old -Coddle won't never get that 'ere accomplishment. - -EGLANTINE. Oh, how sad! What a misfortune! But a deaf husband! Oh, -impossible! (_Exit slowly, I. U., much distressed._) - -WHITWELL (_follows to door_). Stay, oh, stay, Miss Coddle! - -JANE (_laughing_). Ha, ha! Don't flatter yourself, puppy. She's not for -you, jolterhead! - -WHITWELL (_shakes JANE violently_). I'm a jolterhead, am I? A puppy, am -I? - -JANE. Lord forgive me, I do believe he can hear! (_Drops into chair._) - -WHITWELL (_pulls her up_). Yes, vixen! For you I hear perfectly. For -your master, it suits me to be deaf. And, if you dare to betray me, -I'll let him know your treachery. I heard your impudent speeches, every -one of them. - -JANE. Oh, for mercy's sake, Mr. Whittermat, don't do that! My hair -would turn snow in a single night! Think of my legacy! - -WHITWELL. Silence for silence, then, you wretched woman. - -JANE. Certainly, certainly, Mr. Whittermat. Besides, now you ain't deaf -no longer, I like you first-rate. I accept your addresses j'yful. - -WHITWELL. Lucky for you, you witch. - -CODDLE (_outside_). Jane! - -JANE. Oh, sir, now pray be careful. He's as spiteful as spiteful. If he -finds you out, all the fat'll be in the fire. - -WHITWELL. Be quite easy, Jane. To win Eglantine I'll be a horse-post, a -tomb-stone. Fire a thousand-pounder at my ear, and I'll not wink. - -CODDLE (_outside_). Jane, Jane! I say. - -JANE. Step into the garden, Mr. Whittermat; and when I ring the -dinner-bell, don't you take no notice. - -WHITWELL. I'm fly. But ain't I hungry, though, by Jove! Don't forget me. - -JANE (_pushing him out C._). I'll come out and call you. (_Exeunt L._) - - (_Enter CODDLE, R._) - -CODDLE. A miracle! A perfect miracle. Wonderful electro-acoustico- -galvanism! I can hear! I can hear! I can hear! - - (_Enter EGLANTINE._) - -EGLANTINE (_screams_). Papa, love! - -CODDLE (_claps hands to his ears_). Come here, my pet. Give me a kiss, -my darling. Wish your father joy. I have a surprise for you, sweet one. - -EGLANTINE (_shouts_). I know what it is, papa. (_Sadly._) - -CODDLE. Don't scream so, Eglantine. It's impossible you should know it. - -EGLANTINE. Know what, papa? - -CODDLE. That I'm cured of my deafness. I can hear! - -EGLANTINE. What! Is it possible? - -CODDLE. Yes, cured miraculously by that wonderful aurist, with his -electro-magnetico--no, no; electro-galvanico--no, no; pshaw! no matter. -He's cured me in a flash! - -EGLANTINE (_shouts_). O papa! How delightful! - -CODDLE (_covering his ears_). Softly, my darling, softly. You kill me! -I hear almost too well. You deafen me. My hearing is now abnormal; -actually abnormal, it is so acute. - -EGLANTINE (_aside_). Perhaps _he_ can be cured, then. (_Shouts._) -Dearest papa, you cannot conceive how delighted I am. - -CODDLE. Whisper, Eglantine, for Heaven's sake! You, torture me! - -EGLANTINE (_shouts_). Yes, papa. - -CODDLE. Sh--sh--for mercy's sake! - -EGLANTINE (_softly_). Forgive me, papa, it's habit. O papa, I've seen -him! - -CODDLE (_aside_). I hear every word. Seen whom? - -EGLANTINE. The gentleman you have chosen for my husband. - -CODDLE. Husband? Oh, ah! I'd forgotten him. (_Aside._) I really am -cured! - -EGLANTINE. Poor young man! I was miserable at first. I cried, oh, so -hard! - -CODDLE. Darling, you mustn't cry any more. - -EGLANTINE. No, papa, I won't, for I like him extremely now. He's so -handsome, and so amiable! I've met him before. - -CODDLE. Tut, tut, child! I'll see him hanged first. - -EGLANTINE. What? Why, papa, you _asked_ him to marry me, Jane says. - -CODDLE. Yes, when I was deaf. Now, however--what! marry my darling to a -deaf man? Never! - -EGLANTINE. O papa, you are cured: perhaps he can be cured in the same -way. - -CODDLE. Impossible! He's too deaf. I never knew a worse case. - -EGLANTINE. The doctor might try. - -CODDLE. Impossible, I tell you. Besides, he's gone away. - -EGLANTINE. Let's send after him. - -CODDLE. Not another word, my love, about that horrible deaf fellow! I -asked him to dine here to-day, like an old ass; but I'll pack him off -immediately after. - -EGLANTINE (_angrily_). Another offer thrown away! Papa, you will kill -me with your cruelty. (_Weeps._) - -CODDLE. Pooh, darling, I've another, much better offer on hand. -I got a letter this morning from my friend Pottle. His favorite -nephew--charming fellow. - -EGLANTINE (_sobbing_). I won't take him. - -CODDLE. Eglantine, a capital offer, I tell you. Capital! Young, -brilliant, rich. - -EGLANTINE. I won't take him! I won't take him! I won't take him! -(_Stamps._) - -CODDLE. But, Eglantine-- - -EGLANTINE. No, no, no, no, no! I'll die an old maid first! I'll kill -myself if I can't marry the man I love. (_Exit, weeping._) - -CODDLE. (_Solus._) The image of her mother! The villain has bewitched -her! And to think I've asked him to dinner! A scamp I don't know, and -never heard of, and who came into my house like a murderer, smashing -all my hot-houses! Confound him, I'll insult him till he can't see -out of his eyes! I'll dine him with a vengeance! And I'll hand him -over to the police afterwards for malicious mischief--the horrid deaf -ruffian! The audacity of daring to demand my daughter's hand! Deaf as -he is! (_Bell heard._) Ha! what's that infernal noise? A fire? (_Opens -window._) Bah! Jane ringing the dinner-bell. Stop, stop, stop that -devilish tocsin! (_Looks down into garden._) There sits the miscreant, -reading a paper, and hearing nothing of a bell loud enough to wake the -dead. Detestable blockhead! There goes Jane to call him. Faithful Jane! -I long to witness the joy which irradiates her face, dear soul, when I -tell her I can hear. She loves me _so_ sincerely! (_Calls._) Jane!--A -servant of an extinct species. None like her nowadays. Jane, Jane! -(_Enter JANE with soup-tureen._) I've news for you, my faithful Jane. - -JANE. Oh, shut up! - -CODDLE. Eh! (_Looks round in bewilderment._) - -JANE (_sets table, puts soup, &c., on it_). There's your soup, old -Coddle. Mollycoddle, I calls you! - -CODDLE (_aside_). Bless my soul! she's speaking to me, I think. Can it -be possible? Mollycoddle! - -JANE. If it war'n't for that tuppenny legacy, old Cod, I'd do my best -to pop you into an asylum for idiots. Yar! (_Exit, C., meets WHITWELL._) - -CODDLE. Old Cod! So this is her boasted fidelity, her undying -affection! Why, the faithless, abominable, ungrateful, treacherous -vixen! But her face is enough to show the vile blackness of her heart! -I've suspected her for months. After all my kindness to her, too! And -the money I've bequeathed her. She sha'n't stay another twenty-four -hours in my house. (_Sees WHITWELL._) Nor you either, you swindling -vagabond. - -WHITWELL. Hallo, the wind's shifted with a vengeance! (_Shouts._) Thank -you, you're very kind. I accept your suggestion with great pleasure. - -CODDLE. Confound his impertinence! (_Bows._) Very sorry I invited you, -you scamp! Hope you'll find my dinner uneatable. - -WHITWELL. What can have happened? Does he suspect me? (_Shouts._) Very -true; a lovely prospect indeed. - -CODDLE. Bah! the beast! A man as deaf as this fellow (_bows, and points -to table_) should be hanged as a warning. (_Politely._) This is your -last visit here, I assure you. - -WHITWELL. If it were only lawful to kick one's father-in-law, I'd do it -on the spot. (_Shouts._) Your unvarying kindness to a mere stranger, -sir, is an honor to human nature. - -CODDLE (_points_). Take a chair, sir. (_Pulls away best chair, and goes -for another._) No, no: shot if he shall have the best chair in the -house! If he don't like it, he can lump it. - -WHITWELL. Mighty polite! Ah! I see. He's testing me. I'll humor him. - -CODDLE (_returns with a stool_). Here's the proper seat for you, you -pig! (_Shouts._) I offer you this with the greatest pleasure. - -WHITWELL (_shouts_). Thanks, thanks. (_Drops voice._) You intolerable -old brute! - -CODDLE. Ha! - -WHITWELL (_bowing politely_). If you're ever my father-in-law, I'll -show you how to treat a gentleman. - -CODDLE. His father-in-law! I'll give Eglantine to a coal-heaver -first,--the animal! (_Shouts._) Pray be seated, (_drops voice_) and -choke yourself. - -WHITWELL (_shouts_). One gets a very fine appetite after a hard day's -sport. (_Drops voice._) Atrocious old ruffian! - -CODDLE. Old ruffian! This is insufferable. (_They sit._) - -WHITWELL (_shouts_). Will not Miss Coddle dine with us to-day? - -CODDLE. Jackanapes! Not if I know it. (_Shouts._) She's not well. This -soup is cold, I fear. (_Offers some._) - -WHITWELL. Eat it yourself, old foozle. (_Bows courteously a refusal._) - -CODDLE. Infamous puppy! (_Shouts._) Nay, I insist. (_Drops voice._) -It's smoked,--just fit for you. - -WHITWELL (_shouts_). Thanks, no: never eat soup. (_Drops voice._) Old -savage, lucky for you I adore your lovely daughter! - -CODDLE. Shall I pitch this tureen at his head?--Jane! (_Enter JANE with -a dish._) Take off the soup, Jane. This gentleman won't have any. What -have you there? - -JANE (_shouts_). Partridge and spinach, sir. (_Puts dish on table._) - -WHITWELL (_shouts_). A delicious dish, Mr. Coddle,--my favorite. - -CODDLE (_shouts_). Yes? (_Puts partridge on his own plate._) Jane can't -boil spinach. I hate spinach. (_Helps WHITWELL to the spinach._) - -WHITWELL (_rises_). I can't stand this. This is a little too much! - -CODDLE (_shouts_). Nothing more? Good! (_Drops voice._) Get rid of you -all the sooner.--Jane, cigars. Give me a Havana; hand Mr. Whittermat a -stogy. (_Crosses to R._) - -WHITWELL (_aside, furious_). How much longer shall I stand this? - -JANE (_aside to WHITWELL_). Hush! He don't know you hear him. Don't -upset your fish-kittle. - -WHITWELL (_aside_). Very well. I'd like to drop him into it. - -JANE. Hoity, toity! Now see me. We'll have a little fun with the old -sheep. - -CODDLE. Jane, where are those cigars? - -JANE (_takes box from console, and offers it; shouts_). Here they be. -(_Drops voice._) Jackass! tyrant! muttonhead! I hope they'll turn your -stomick. - -CODDLE (_seizes her ear_). What? You infamous minx! I a jackass? I a -tyrant? I a muttonhead? (_Pulls her round._) I'm a sheep, am I? I'm a -mollycoddle, am I? You call me an idiot, do you? - -JANE (_screams_). Ah! he hears, he hears. - -CODDLE. You'll have a little fun out of the old sheep, will you? You -tell me to shut up, eh? Clap me into an asylum, will you? (_Lets go her -ear._) - -JANE. A miracle! I'm dead. (_Crosses to L., screaming._) - - (_Enter EGLANTINE._) - -EGLANTINE. Papa! For heaven's sake, what _is_ the matter? - -WHITWELL (_stupefied_). What, Mr. Coddle! I thought you were deaf. Is -it possible you can hear? - -CODDLE (_shouts_). Perfectly well, sir; and so it seems can you. I -will repeat, if you wish it, every one of those delectable compliments -you paid me five minutes since. - -WHITWELL (_to EGLANTINE_). I can't believe my ears. Miss Coddle, has he -been shamming deafness, then, all this time? - -EGLANTINE (_shouts_). No, indeed. A doctor cured his deafness only half -an hour ago. - -JANE. Ah! Dear old master, was it kind to deceive me in this fashion? -Why didn't ye tell me? Ah! now ye can hear, I love you tenderer than -ever. - -CODDLE. Tell you, you pig, you minx! I tell you to walk out of my house. - -WHITWELL (_aside_). I'll take you into my service. - -CODDLE (_loud to WHITWELL_). Come, sir, you too. You are an impostor, -sir. Leave my house. - -EGLANTINE. Ah, papa! I love him. - -WHITWELL. What do I hear? You love me, Eglantine? - -EGLANTINE (_shrieks_). Ah-h-h! I forgot you could hear. (_Hides her -face in her hands._) - -WHITWELL. Thank Heaven, I can! or I should have lost the rapture of -that sweet avowal. Mr. Coddle, I love--I adore your daughter. You heard -a moment since the confession that escaped her innocent lips. Surely -you cannot turn a deaf ear to the voice of nature, and see us both -miserable for life. Remember, sir, you have now no deaf ear to turn. Be -merciful. - -CODDLE. What, sir! Give you my daughter after all your frightful -insults? Never! - -WHITWELL. Remember how you treated me, sir; and reflect, too, that you -began it. Insults are not insults unless intended to be heard. For -every thing I said, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. Ah, sir! -be considerate, lenient. - -CODDLE (_after a pause_). Do you retract "old ruffian"? - -WHITWELL. Certainly. - -EGLANTINE. Ah, papa! forgive him. He retracts "old ruffian." - -CODDLE. And "brute"? - -WHITWELL. Of course. - -CODDLE. And "old foozle"? - -WHITWELL. Entirely, sir. - -_Eglantine._ Papa, of course he does. - -CODDLE (_a pause_). No, Mr. Whittermat, I can't give my daughter to -a man I never heard of in my life,--and with such a preposterous name -too! No, no. - -WHITWELL. My name is Whitwell, my dear sir,--not Whittermat: nephew of -your old friend Benjamin Pottle. - -CODDLE. God bless me! Nephew of Ben Pottle! Why didn't you say so -before? What did you tell me your name was Whittermat for? - -WHITWELL. Some singular mistake, sir: I never did. Can't imagine how -the mistake could have occurred. - -CODDLE. Well, well, Mr. Whitwell, this alters the case. Your uncle -wrote me about you. Extraordinary coincidence! Well, since you heard -all _I_ said--Ha, ha, ha! - -WHITWELL. Of course I did. Ha, ha, ha! For every Roland of mine you -gave me two Olivers at least. Ha, ha, ha! - -CODDLE. Neither of us deaf, eh? Diamond cut diamond,--ha, ha, ha! Pull -dog, pull devil, eh? (_Bursting with laughter. All laugh heartily._) - -JANE. He, he, he! I never thought I'd live to see this happy day, -master. - -CODDLE. Hold your tongue, you impudent cat! Quit my house. Mollycoddle, -indeed! - -JANE. O Mr. Coddle, you won't go for to turn off a faithful servant in -this way. (_Aside to WHITWELL._) That legacy's lost. (_To CODDLE._) Ah, -master dear! you won't find nobody else as'll work their fingers to the -bone, and their voice to a thread-paper, as I have: up early and down -late, and yelling and screeching from morning till night. Well, the -house will go to rack and ruin when I'm gone,--that's one comfort. - -WHITWELL (_aside to JANE_). The money's yours, cash down, the day of my -wedding. - -CODDLE. Well, well, Jane, I'll forgive you, for luck. I'm too happy to -bear malice. But I wish you knew how to boil spinach. - -JANE. I'll learn right straight off, sir. - -CODDLE. Well, hang delay, children! I'll engage Dr. Harrold for a week -from to-day, and invite all our friends (_to the audience_) to witness -the wedding. Church of the Holy Cross, remember. No low church for me. -All who mean to come will please signify it by clapping their hands, -and the harder the better. Not many refusals here. (_Curtain falls._) - - R. EGLANTINE. WHITWELL. CODDLE.
