Angelica.
[Turning c.] Well, I won't, because my father's coming here to fetch me. [Moves to door l.] But I'll go into the kitchen and talk to Mary and Zekiel.
Angelica.
No, don't leave the bench, Judge. I can open the door of my cell.
Hamilton.
Betsy!
Betsy.
[Fondly.] You're a real lover, aren't you, dear?
Hamilton.
They've been long months without you. It seemed as though you were never coming back.
Betsy.
It was dreadful of me to stay away so long. But you know I couldn't help it.
Hamilton.
You must never, never go away again.
Betsy.
I never will, dearest. [She kisses him.] But now that
I am back, I'm going to be a dreadfully
expensive wife. I'm going to take away all your savings. There are no end of things wanted for the house—and of course I haven't got a rag to my back.
