Miss Bland as angry lover shone,
So well performed her part
I feared such realistic scenes
Might "languish" macA -'s heart
[Image - woman in a long dress reclining on a sofa]

But 'twas the "other fellow" quarrel'd
As Mac could plainly see
And he just whisper'd 'neath his breath
"I'm glad it isn't me"

Miss Phyllis gracefully performed
Miss Julia's part in white,
And Henry has confessed to me
'Twas hard to say 'Good night'

One feature seemed most puzzling
To sentimental heart
'Twas that the lovers halted there
About three feet apart
[Image - two hearts apart pierced by the same arrow]
