“What is the meaning of all this?" in the same breath inquired the father and son.
Cap slapped her hands on her hips, tossed her head back, and whirling around, replied :
"It means, your worships' excellencies, that–you–can't come it! it's no go! this chicken won't fight. It means that the fat's in the fire, and the cat's out of the bag! It means confusion! distraction! perdition! and a tearing off of our wigs! It means the game's up, the play's over, villainy is about to be hanged and virtue about to be rewarded, and the curtain is going to drop and the principal performer–that's I–is going to be called out amid the applause of the audience!" Then, suddenly changing her mocking tone to one of great severity, she said:
"It means that you have been outwitted by a girl! It means that your purposed victim has fled, and is by this time in safety! It means that you two, precious father and son, would be a pair of knaves if you had sense enough; but, failing in that, you are only a pair of fools!”

“To which the bride, throwing aside her veil, answered firmly:
"No! not if he were the last man and I the last woman on the face of the earth, and the human race were about to become extinct, and the angel Gabriel came down from above to ask it of me as a personal favor."
The effect of this outburst, this revelation, this explosion, may be imagined but can never be adequately described.”
