Angelica.
Well, my duties as overseer being finished, I suppose I ought to go, but as I only got a glimpse of you last night, Amiable, I'm going to stay and share you with Betsy for the next five minutes.
Betsy.
Shall we let her?
Hamilton.
Yes, yes. Let's be kind to her.
Angelica.
Well, the vanity of these men! Now, tell me all you've been doing since Betsy went away.
Betsy.
You've only got five minutes, you know.
Angelica.
I'll stay ten.
Betsy.
Even then I am afraid he will have to leave some things out.
Angelica.
Ah! Those are the things I should like to hear. Well, what have you been doing?
Hamilton.
[His arm around Betsy.] Well, now I'll tell you—but pay great attention—these are state secrets. Part of my time has been spent in trying to save this country from rack and ruin.
