ANTHONY: I have a plan — JOHANNA (Stops pacing suddenly): Oh, dear, was that a noise? ANTHONY: A plan— JOHANNA: I think I heard a noise. ANTHONY; A plan! JOHANNA: It couldn't be, He's in court, He's in court today, Still that was a noise, Wasn't that a noise? You must have heard that — ANTHONY: Kiss me. JOHANNA (Shyly): Oh, sir... ANTHONY: Ah, miss ... JOHANNA: Oh, sir ... (She turns away, agitatedly) If he should marry me Monday, What shall I do? I'll die of grief.

(Lights dim on them but remain; light rises on the JUDGE and the BEADLE, still walking together. Music continues under) JUDGE (Strolling with BEADLE): Yes, yes, but surely the respect that she owes me as her guardian should be sufficient to kindle a more tender emotion. BEADLE (Sings): Excuse me, my lord. May I request, my lord, Permission, my lord, to speak? Forgive me if I suggest, my lord, You're looking less than your best, my lord, There's powder upon your vest, my lord, And stubble upon your cheek. And ladies, my lord, are weak. (Music continues) JUDGE: Perhaps if she greets me cordially upon my return, I should give her a small gift. .. BEADLE (Winces delicately): Ladies in their sensitivities, my lord, Have a fragile sensibility. When a girl's emergent, Probably it's urgent You defer to her gent- ility, my lord. Personal disorder cannot be ignored, Given their genteel proclivities. Meaning no offense, it Happens they resents it, Ladies in their sensit- ivities, my lord. JUDGE (Feeling his chin): Stubble, you say? Perhaps at times I am a little overhasty with my morning ablutions .. . BEADLE: Fret not though, my lord, I know a place, my lord, A barber, my lord, of skill. Thus armed with a shaven face, my lord, Some eau de cologne to grace my lord And musk to enhance the chase, my lord, You'll dazzle the girl until She bows to your every will. JUDGE: That may well be so. (They have reached the JUDGE 's house) BEADLE: Well, here we are, sir. I bid you good day. JUDGE: Good day. (He muses, turns) And where is this miraculous barber?

(The JUDGE and the BEADLE move past the house) JOHANNA: I think I heard a noise. ANTHONY: Fear not. JOHANNA: I mean another noise! ANTHONY: Like what? JOHANNA: Oh, never mind, Just a noise Just another noise, Something in the street, I'm a silly little Ninnynoddle — ANTHONY: You mustn't mind, It's a noise, Just another noise, Something in the street, You silly — BOTH (Falling into each other's arms): Kiss me! JOHANNA: Oh, sir... ANTHONY: We'll go to Paris on Monday. JOHANNA: What shall I wear? I daren't pack! ANTHONY: We'll ride a train ... JOHANNA: With you beside me on Sunday, What will I care What things I lack? ANTHONY: Then sail to Spain ... JOHANNA: I'll take my reticule. I need my reticule.
