FRANKLYN. Oh, a silly misunderstanding. I have promised to address a meeting in Middlesborough; and some fool has put it into the papers that I am 'coming to Middlesborough, without any explanation.

Savvy and Haslam look at one another with unspeakable feelings. BURGE. Do you think it would be wise to go quite so far at first? Surely it would be more prudent to begin with the best men. FRANKLYN.

Although I am a mere child of 69, I am old enough to have lost, the habit of crying for the moon. BURGE. Have you discovered the elixir of life or have you not?
