ANGELA  Not one�察�it is purity itself。



GROS。  Here's another。



     Teasing Tom was a very bad boy��

     A great big squirt was his favourite toy

     He put live shrimps in his father's boots��

     And sewed up the sleeves of his Sunday suits��

     He punched his poor little sisters' heads��

     And cayenne´peppered their four´post beds��

     He plastered their hair with cobbler's wax��

     And dropped hot halfpennies down their backs。

          The consequence was he was lost totally��

          And married a girl in the corps de bally��



             ��The MAIDENS express intense horror。��



ANGELA  Marked you how grandly  how relentlessly  the damning

catalogue of crime strode on�察�till Retribution�察�like a poised

hawk�察�came swooping down upon the Wrong´Doer�拭 �Oh�察�it was

terrible�  。�All shudder。��



ELLA  Oh�察�sir�察�you are indeed a true poet�察�for you touch our

hearts�察�and they go out to you��



GROS。 ��aside�А �This is simply cloying。  ��aloud�А�Ladies�察�I am

sorry to appear ungallant�察�but this is Saturday�察�and you have

been following me about ever since Monday。  I should like the

usual half´holiday。  I shall take it as a personal favour if you

will kindly allow me to close early to´day。



SAPHIR  Oh�察�sir�察�do not send us from you��



GROS。  Poor�察�poor girls�  �It is best to speak plainly。  I know

that I am loved by you�察�but I never can love you in return�察�for

my heart is fixed elsewhere�  �Remember the fable of the Magnet

and the Churn。



ANGELA ��wildly�А �But we don't know the fable of the Magnet and

the Churn��



GROS。  Don't you�拭 �Then I will sing it to you。





            No。 13。 A magnet hung in a hardware shop

                       ��Solo and Chorus��

                     Grosvenor and Maidens



GROSVENOR      A magnet hung in a hardware shop��

               And all around was a loving crop

               Of scissors and needles�察�nails and knives��

               Offering love for all their lives��

               But for iron the magnet felt no whim��

               Though he charmed iron�察�it charmed not him��

               From needles and nails and knives he'd turn��

               For he'd set his love on a Silver Churn��



MAIDENS             A Silver Churn��



GROSVENOR           A Silver Churn��



                        His most aesthetic��

                        Very magnetic

                    Fancy took this turn

                        ;If I can wheedle

                        A knife or a needle��

                    Why not a Silver Churn�拭�



MAIDENS                 His most aesthetic��

                        Very magnetic

                    Fancy took this turn

                        ;If I can wheedle

                        A knife or a needle��

                    Why not a Silver Churn�拭�



GROSVENOR ��He rises�察�going C。��

          And Iron and Steel expressed surprise��

          The needles opened their well´drilled eyes��

          The penknives felt ;shut up;�察�no doubt��

          The scissors declared themselves ;cut out;��

          The kettles they boiled with rage�察�'tis said��

          While ev'ry nail went off its head��

          And hither and thither began to roam��

          Till a hammer came up and drove them home。



MAIDENS        It drove them home��



GROSVENOR      It drove them home��



                    While this magnetic��

                    Peripatetic

               Lover he lived to learn��

                    By no endeavour

                    Can magnet ever

               Attract a Silver Churn��



MAIDENS             While this magnetic��

                    Peripatetic

               Lover he lived to learn��



MAIDENS and

GROSVENOR      By no endeavour

                    Can magnet ever

               Attract a Silver Churn��



��They go off in low spirits�察�R。U。E。�察�gazing back at him from time

     to time。��



GROS。  At last they are gone�  �What is this mysterious

fascination that I seem to exercise over all I come across�拭 �A

curse on my fatal beauty�察�for I am sick of conquests�  。�Goes R。��

PATIENCE  That's right�  �I never can be yours�察�but that's right��



GROS。  And you love this Bunthorne��



PATIENCE  With a heart´whole ecstasy that withers�察�and scorches��

and burns�察�and stings�  。�sadly�А �It is my duty。



GROS。  Admirable girl�  �But you are not happy with him��



PATIENCE  Happy�拭 �I am miserable beyond description��



GROS。  That's right�  �I never can be yours�察�but that's right��



PATIENCE  But go now。  I see dear Reginald approaching。 

Farewell�察�dear Archibald�察�I cannot tell you how happy it has made

me to know that you still love me。



GROS。  Ah�察�if I only dared ��advancing towards her��



PATIENCE  Sir� �this language to one who is promised to another� �

��GROSVENOR sighs�察�gazes sorrowfully at her�察�sighs deeply�察�and

     exits�察�R。  She bursts into tears。��



��Enter BUNTHORNE�察�followed by JANE。  He is moody and

     preoccupied。��

JANE      In a doleful train

               One and one I walk all day��

JANE  Crushed again��



PATIENCE  I think he is the noblest�察�purest�察�and most perfect

being I have ever met。  But I don't love him。  It is true that he

is devotedly attached to me�察�but I don't love him。  Whenever he

grows  affectionate�察�I scream。  It is my duty�  。�sighing��
