BUN. Crushed again!
[Enter JANE, L.]
JANE [who is still aesthetic] Cheer up! I am still here. I
have never left you, and I never will!
BUN. Thank you, Jane. After all, there is no denying it, you're
a fine figure of a woman!
JANE My Reginald!
BUN. My Jane! [They embrace.]
Fanfare
[Enter, R., COLONEL, MAJOR, and DUKE. They are again in
uniform.]
COLONEL Ladies, the Duke has at length determined to select a
bride!
[General excitement]
DUKE [R.] I have a great gift to bestow. Approach, such of you
as are truly lovely. [All the MAIDENS come forward, bashfully,
except JANE and PATIENCE.] In personal appearance you have all
that is necessary to make a woman happy. In common fairness, I
think I ought to choose the only one among you who has the
misfortune to be distinctly plain. [Girls retire disappointed.]
Jane!
JANE [leaving BUNTHORNE's arms] Duke! [JANE and DUKE embrace.
BUNTHORNE is utterly disgusted.]
BUN. Crushed again!
No. 20. After much debate internal
(Finale of Act II)
Ensemble
DUKE [R.C.] After much debate internal,
I on Lady Jane decide,
Saphir now may take the Col'nel,
Angry be the Major's bride!
[SAPHIR pairs off with COLONEL, R., ANGELA with MAJOR, L.C.,
ELLA with SOLICITOR, L.]
BUNTHORNE [C.] In that case unprecedented,
Single I must live and die--
I shall have to be contented
With a tulip or li-ly!
[BUNTHORNE, C., takes a lily from buttonhole and gazes
affectionately at it.]
SAPHIR, ELLA,
ANGELA, DUKE,
BUNTHORNE and
COLONEL He will have to be contented
With a tulip or li-ly!
ALL In that case unprecedented,
Single he/I must live and die--
He will/I shall have to be contented
With a tulip or li-ly!
Greatly pleased with one another,
To get married we/they decide.
Each of us/them will wed the other,
Nobody be Bunthorne's Bride!
