And nothing that you oughtn't, O!
Hilarion: That fact was seen at once by you
In casual conversation, O!
Which is most creditable to
Your powers of observation, O!
-servation, O!
-servation, O!
Your powers of observation, O!
All: Then jump for joy and gaily bound,
The truth is found, the truth is found!
Set bells a-ringing through the air,
Ring here and there and ev'rywhere.
3 Men: And echo forth the joyous sound,
All: The truth is found -- the truth is found!
3 Men: And echo forth the joyous sound,
All: The truth is found -- the truth is found!
And echo forth the joyous sound,
The truth is found -- the truth is found!
(Exeunt Psyche, Hilarion, Cyril
and Florian,
Melissa going.)
(Enter
Lady Blanche.
Blanche: Melissa!
Melissa: (Returning) Mother!
Blanche: Here -- a word with you.
Those are the three new students?
Melissa: (Confused) Yes, they are.
They're charming girls.
Blanche: Particularly so.
So graceful, and so very womanly!
So skilled in all a girl's accomplishments!
Melissa: (Confused) Yes -- very skilled.
Blanche: They sing so nicely too!
Melissa: They do sing nicely!
Blanche: Humph! It's very odd.
Two are tenors, one is a baritone!
Melissa: (Much agitated) They've all got colds!
Blanche: Colds! Bah! D'ye think I'm blind?
These "girls" are men disguised!
Melissa: Oh no -- indeed!
You wrong these gentlemen -- I mean -- why, see,
Here is an etui dropped by one of them (picking up an
etui).
Containing scissors, needles, and --
Blanche: (Opening it) Cigars!
