BUTTERFLY<br />

(with emphasis)<br />

The United States.<br />

SHARPLESS<br />

(Poor little creature 1 )<br />

BUTTERFLY<br />

(strenuously, and growing excited)<br />

And to turn out your wife at any moment,<br />

Here, constitutes divorce.<br />

But in America, that cannot be done.<br />

Say<br />

SHARPLESS<br />

(embarrassed)<br />

Yes, yes -but yet<br />

BUTTERFLY<br />

And unbiassed judge<br />

Says to the husband:<br />

" You wish to free<br />
