First Robbcr (nettled ut these asper-
sions on her success) I've got a pair of
pearl earrings and three lockets
y Confederate (the bridesmaid cousin,
whom yesterday took for a sweet pleas
ing girl, but Who now turns out to be the
most daring and dangerous of the gang)
Only three lockets. Helena Macgregor
had six, not to speak of the whole set of
family cairngorms; and Blanche de Bois
Gullbert had the lovelest diamonds
Third Robber ca youthful but proms-
ing villain of 1911 don't see why the
Brown Richardson's shouldn't give both
the bracelet and the tea-sct They're 50
tremendously rich.
First Robbcr Oh, talking of dia-
mOnds Mother isn't that letter from
Aunt Dives at last, oh, what does She
say about
The Captain Of the Band (gloomily) -
Nothing. She doesn't even mention.

Chorus Of Robbers But the diamonds
Didn't She SLY She would give lis her dia-
monds when we married. oh, what d
shame it will 10 if She doesn't
The Captain (soothingly) Oh, dare
sav it Will be all RIGHT She certainly told
