"Did you not know your new love, Betty, is engaged to Frederick?"

"Viper!"

Catching Betty listening at the door.

"I found Elizabeth's miniature

  portrait in the pocket and on it

  was the most curious inscription:

  'To my chocolate soldier -

  A souvenir'."

"I'm sure Miss Elizabeth is incapable of lying, sir."

"And I have no engagement with Miss Betty."

"Scoundrel!"
