Hardhearted, Mrs. Corney? Hard? Are you hardhearted, Mrs. Corney?

Widow Corney (Spoken)

Dear me! What a curious question coming from a single man. What can you want to know for, Mr. Bumble? Mr. Bumble, I shall scream!

Mr. Bumble

No you wouldn't, heigh ho. If I wanted something special, Then you couldn't say no. Did I nearly catch you smiling? Yes I did. And it's beguiling. If you hand is close, I'll press it. Yes, you like it -- come confess it! Yes, you do...

Widow Corney

No, I don't.

Mr. Buble

Yes, you do!

Widow Corney
