O Jane, O Jane, my pretty Jane!

JULIA (startled, drops hoe-cake. THEODORE takes the cake).

Hark! I hear a voice.

THEO. It is I, love, - it is I, love,

Murmuring thy dear name o'er.

JULIA. Murmur softly, sweet and low,

Mother sleeps.

THEO. What did little birdie say?

Will I meet her at the bar?

JULIA. I am tired now and sleepy too.
