ARGUMENT
Twenty-five years previous to the action of the opera, lolanthe, a fairy, had
committed the capital crime of marrying a mortal. The Queen of the Fairies had
commuted the death sentence to banishment for life — on condition that lolanthe
must leave her husband without explanation and never see him again. Her son
Strephon has grown up as a shepherd, half fairy, half mortal. Strephon loves
Phyllis, a shepherdess who is also a ward in Chancery; she returns his love, and
knows nothing of his mixed origin.
At the beginning of the opera, the Queen is prevailed upon by other fairies to
recall lolanthe from exile. Strephon joins the glad reunion and announces his
intention of marrying Phyllis in spite of the Lord Chancellor, her guardian, who
refuses permission. The Queen approves, and plans to influence certain boroughs
to elect Strephon to Parliament.
Meanwhile the entire House of Lords is enamored of Phyllis; they appeal in a
body to the Lord Chancellor to give her to whichever peer she may select. The
Lord Chancellor is also suffering the pangs of love, but feels he has no legal right
to assign her to himself. Phyllis declines to marry a peer; Strephon pleads his
cause in court again, but in vain. lolanthe enters and holds tender converse with
her son. Since she, like all fairies, looks like a girl of seventeen, Phyllis and the
peers misinterpret the situation; they ridicule Strephon's claim that lolanthe is
his mother. Phyllis declares now that she will marry either Lord Mountararat or
Lo.fd Tolloller.
The Fairies take revenge by not merely sending Strephon to Parliment, but
also influencing both Houses to pass any bills he may introduce. His innovations
culminate in a bill to throw the peerage open to competitive examination. The
Peers, seeing their doom approaching, appeal to the Fairies to desist. The Fairies
have fallen in love with the Peers and would like to oblige, but it is too late to stop
Strephon. The Queen reproaches her subjects for their feminine weakness; she
acknowledges her own weakness for a sentry. Private Willis, but asserts that she
has it under control.
Lord Mountararat and Lord Tolloller discover that if either marries Phyllis,
family tradition will require the loser to kill his successful rival; both therefore
renounce Phyllis in the name of friendship. The Lord Chancellor, after consider-
able struggle, pleads his own cause before himself and convinces himself that the
law will allow him to marry her.
Meanwhile Strephon makes Phyllis understand that his mother is a fairy, and
they are reconciled. They persuade lolanthe to appeal to the Lord Chancellor.
To make the appeal effective, she reveals her identity to him — her husband — and
thus again incurs the death penalty. The other Fairies, however, have married
their respective Peers, and announce to the Queen that they all have incurred the
same sentence. The Lord Chancellor suggests the legal expedient of inserting a
single word, to make the law read that every fairy who does not marry a mortal
shall die. The Queen corrects the scroll, and asks Private Willis to save her life
by marrying her. All the mortals present are then transformed into fairies and
fly away with their consorts to Fairyland, leaving the House of Lords to be re-
plenished according to intelligence rather than birth.

Celia: Ah, it's all very well, but since our queen banished lolanthe fairy revels have not
" been what they were.
Leila: lolanthe was the life and soul of Fairyland. Why, she wrote all our songs and ar-
ranged all our dances! We sing her songs and we trip her measures, but we don't
enjoy ourselves.
Fletd: To think that five-and-twenty years have elapsed since she was banished! What
could she have done to have deserved so terrible a punishment ?
Leila: Something awful: she married a mortal.
Fleta: Oh! Is it injudicious to marry a mortal?
Leila: Injudicious ? It strikes at the root of the whole fairy system. By our laws the fairy
who marries a mortal dies.
Celia: But lolanthe didn't die.
{Enter Queen of the Fairies)
Queen: No, because your queen, who loved her with a surpassing love, commuted her sentence
to penal servitude for life, on condition that she left her husband without a word of
explanation and never communicated with him again.
Leila: And that sentence of penal servitude she is now working out at the bottom of that
stream?
Queen: Yes. But when I banished her I gave her all the pleasant places of the earth to
dwell in. I'm sure I never intended that she should go and live at the bottom of
that stream. It makes me perfectly wretched to think of the discomfort she must
have undergone.
Leila: To think of the damp! And her chest was always delicate.
Queen: And the frogs! ugh! I never shall enjoy any peace of mind until I know why lo-
lanthe went to live among the frogs.
Fleta: Then why not summon her and ask her ?
Queen: Why ? Because if I set eyes on her I should forgive her at once.
Celia : Then why not forgive her ? Twenty-five years ! it's a long time .
Leila: Think how we loved her!
Queen : Loved her ? What was your love to mine ? "Why, she was invaluable to me! Who
taught me to curl myself inside a buttercup? lolanthe! — Who taught me to swing
upon a cobweb? lolanthe! — Who taught me to dive into a dewdrop, to nestle in a
nutshell, to gambol upon gossamer? lolanthe!
Leila: She certainly did surprising things.
Fleta: Oh give her back to us, great queen — for your sake, if not for ours.
(All kneel in supplication)
Queen: {irresolute) Oh, I should be strong, but I am weak; I should be marble, but I am clay.
Her punishment has been heavier than I intended. I did not mean that she should
live among the frogs. And— Well! well! it shall be as you wish.

Queen: And now tell me: with all the world to choose from, why on earth did you decide to
live at the bottom of that stream ?
lolanthe: To be near my son, Strephon.
Queen: Your son! Bless my heart! I didn't know you had a son.
lolanthe: He was born soon after I left my husband by your royal command, but he doesn't
even know of his father's existence.
Fleta: How old is he?
lolanthe: Twenty- four.
Leila: Twenty-four! No one to look at you would think you had a son of twenty-four? But
of course that's one of the advantages of being immortal— we never grow old. Is
he pretty ?
lolanthe: He's extremely pretty, but he's inclined to be stout.
All: (disappointed) Oh!
Queen: I see no objection to stoutness in moderation.
Celia: And what is he ?
lolanthe: He's an Arcadian shepherd, and he loves Phyllis, award in Chancery.
Celia: A mere shepherd, and he half a fairy!
lolanthe: He's a fairy down to the waist, but his legs are mortal.
Celia: Dear me!
Queen : I have no reason to suppose that I am more curious than other people, but I con-
fess, I should like to see a person who is a fairy down to the waist, but whose legs
are mortal.
lolanthe: Nothing easier, for here he comes.
(Enter Strephon, singing and dancing, and playing on a flageolet.
He does not see the Fairies, who retire up stage as he enters.)

lolanthe: Then the Lord Chancellor has at last given his consent to your marriage with
his beautiful ward, Phyllis?
StrephoH: Not he, indeed! To all my tearful prayers he answers me, "A shepherd lad is
no fit helpmate for a ward of Chancery." I stood in court, and there I sang him
songs of Arcadee, with flageolet accompaniment, in vain. At first he seemed a-
mused, so did the Bar, but, quickly wearying of my song and pipe, he bade me
get out. A servile usher then, in crumpled bands and rusty bombazine, led me,
still singing, into Chancery Lane! I'll go no more; I'll marry her today, and
brave the upshot, be what it may! — (Sees fairies) But who are these ?
lolanthe: Oh, Strephon, rejoice with me; my queen has pardoned me !
Strephon: Pardoned you, mother? This is good news, indeed!
lolanthe: And these ladies are my beloved sisters.
Strephon: Your sisters ? Then they are my aunts, (kneels)
Queen : A pleasant piece of news for your bride on her wedding day!
Strephon : Hush ! My bride knows nothing of my fairyhood. I dare not tell her, lest it fright-
en her. She thinks me mortal, and prefers me so.
Leila: Your fairyhood doesn't seem to have done you much good.
Strephon: Much good ? It's the curse of my existence ! What's the use of being half a fairy ?
My body can creep through a keyhole, but what's the good of that when my legs
are left kicking behind ? I can make myself invisible down to the waist, but
that's of no use when my legs remain exposed to view. My brain is a fairy brain,
but from the waist downward I'm a gibbering idiot. My upper half is immortal,
but my lower half grows older every day, and some day or other must die of old
age. What's to become of my upper half when I've buried my lower half I really
don't know.
Queen : I see your difficulty, but with a fairy brain you should seek an intellectual sphere
of action. Let me see: I've a borough or two at my disposal; would you like to go
into Parliament ?
lolanthe: A fairy member ! That would be delightful.
Strephon : I'm afraid I should do no good there. You see, down to the waist I'm a Tory of
the most determined description, but my legs are a couple of confounded Radi-
cals, and on a division they'd be sure to take me into the wrong lobby. You see,
they're two to one, which is a strong working majority.
Queen: Don't let that distress you; you shall be returned as a Liberal-Conservative, and
your legs shall be our peculiar care.
Strephon : (bowing) I see Your Majesty does not do things by halves.
Queen: No; we are fairies down to the feet.

My Phyllis ! And today we're to be made happy for ever.
Well, we're to be married.
It's the same thing.
Well, I suppose it is. But oh, Strephon, I tremble at the step we're taking. I be-
lieve it's penal servitude for life to marry award of court without the Lord Chan-
cellor's consent. j[ shall be of age in two years. Don't you think you could wait two
years ?
Two years ! You can't have seen yourself. Here, look at that (offering mirror) and
tell me if you think it's reasonable to expect me to wait two years ?
No; you're quite right; it's asking too much — one must be reasonable.
Besides, who knows what will happen in two years ? Why, you might fall in love
with the Lord Chancellor himself by that time.
Yes, he's a clever old gentleman.
As it is, half the House of Lords are sighing at your feet
The House of Lords is certainly extremely attentive.
Attentive ? I should think they were ! Why did five-and-twenty Liberal peers come
down to shoot over your grass-plot last autumn ? It couldn't have been the sparrows.
Why did five-and-twenty Conservative peers come down to fish in your pond? Don't

the sooner the better.

Ld.Chan.
°^
(Enter lord ToUoller)
" Ld. Toll. : And now, my lord, suppose we proceed to the business of the day?
Ld. Chan. : By all mjeans. Phyllis, who is a ward of court, has so powerfully affected your lord-
ships that you have appealed to me in a body to give her to whichever one of you
she may think proper to select; and a noble lord has gone to her cottage to request
her immediate attendance. It would be idle to deny that I, myself, have the mis-
fortune to be singularly attracted by this young person. My regard for her is rap-
idly undermining my constitution. Three months cigo I was a stout man. I need
say no more. If I could reconcile it with my duty, I should unhesitatingly award
her to myself, for I can conscientiously say that I know no man who is so well fit-
ted to render her exceptionally happy. But such an award would be open to mis-
construction, and therefore, at whatever personal inconvenience, I waive nry claim.
My lord, I desire, on the part of this House, to express its sincere sympathy with
your lordship's most painful position.
I thank your lordships. The feelings of a Lord Chancellor who is in love with a
ward of court are not to be envied. What is his position? Can he give his own con-
sent to his own marriage with his own ward? Can he marry his own ward without
his own consent? And if he marries his own ward without his own consent, can
he commit himself for contempt of his own court? Can he appear by counsel be-
fore himself to move for arrest of his own judgment ? Ah, my lords, it is indeed
painful to have to sit upon a woolsack which is stuffed with such thorns as these.
{Enter Lord Mountarat)
Ld. Mount.: My lords, I have the pleasure to inform your lordships that I have succeeded in
persuading the young lady to present herself at the bar of this House.
(Enter Phyllis)

Exeunt all the Peers, marching round stage with mtich dignity. Lord Chancellor separates Phyllis
from Strephon, and order her off.
Ld.Chan.: Now, sir, what excuse have you to offer for having disobeyed an order of the court of
Chancery?
Strephon : My lord, I know no court of Chancery; I go by Nature's acts of Parliament .The bees,
the breeze, the seas, the rocks, the brooks, the gales, the vales, the fountains, and the
mountains, cry, "You love this maiden; take her, we command you!" 'Tis writ in heav-
en by the bright-barbed dart that leaps forth into lurid light from each grim thunder-
cloud. The very rain pours forth her sad and sodden sympathy. When chorused Nature
bids me take my love, shall I reply, "Nay, but a certain Chancellor forbids it"? Sir,
you are England's Lord High Chancellor, but are you Chancellor of birds and trees,
king of the winds and prince of thunder- clouds?
Ld.Chan.: No. It's a nice point; I don't know that I ever met it before . But my difficulty is,
that at present there's no evidence before the court that chorused Nature has inter-
ested herself in the matter.
Strephon : No evidence ? You have my word for it. I tell you that she bade me take my love.
Ld. Chan.: Ah! but, my good sir, you mustn't tell us what she told you; it's not evidence. Now, an
affidavit from a thunder-storm or a few words on oath from a heavy shower would
meet with all the attention they deserve.
Strephon: And have you the heart to apply the prosaic rules of evidence to a case which bub-
bles over with poetical emotion?
Ld.Chan.: Distinctly. I have always kept my duty strictly before my eyes; and it is to that fact
that I owe my advancement to my present distinguished position.

(in tears)
Oh, Phyllis ! Phyllis ! To be taken from you just as I was on the point of making you
my own ! Oh, it's too much! it is too much!
My son in tears, and on his wedding-day?
My wedding-day ! Oh, mother, weep with me, for the law has interposed between us ,
and the Lord Chancellor has separated us for ever !
The Lord Chancellor! — (aside) Oh, if he did but know!
(overhearing her) If he did but know— what ?
No matter. The Lord Chancellor has no power over you. Remember, you are half a
fairy; you can defy him — down to the waist.
Yes, but from the waist downward he can commit me to prison for years. Of what avail
is it that my body is free if my legs are working out seven years' penal servitude ?
True. But take heart: our queen has promised you her special protection. I'll go to
her and lay your peculiar case before her.
My beloved mother, how can I repay the debt I owe you?
(As (he Finale commences the Peers appear at the back,
advancing unseen and on tiptoe. Mountararat and Toll-
oiler lead Phyllis between them ivho listens in horror to
irhat she hears.)

Perfectly disgraceful ! disgusting !
You seem annoyed.
: Annoyed! I should think so! Why, this ridiculous protege of yours is playing the
deuce with everything! Tonight is the second reading of his bill to throw the peer-
age open to competitive examination.
And he'll carry it, too!
: Carry it ? Of course he will! He's a Parliamentary Pickford— he carries everything.
Yes. If you plejise, that's our fault.
; The deuce it is !
Yes; we influence the members, and compel them to vote just as he wishes them to.
It's our system; it shortens the debates.
Well, but think what it all means ! I don't so much mind for myself, but with a House
of Peers with no grandfathers worth mentioning the country must go to the dogs.
I suppose it must.
: I don't want to say aword against brains — I've a great respect for brains; I often wish
I had some myself —but with a House of Peers composed exclusively of people of in-
tellect, what's to become of the House of Commons ?
I never thought of that.
: This comes of women interfering in politics. It so happens that if there is an insti-
tution in Great Britain which is not susceptible of any improvement at all, it is the
House of Peers.

(Exeunt Chorus of Peers)
Leila : (uho has been much attracted hy the Peers during the song) Charming persons, are they not ?
Celia: Distinctly. For self-contained dignity, combined with airy condescension, give me
a British representative peer!
Ld.Toll.: Then, pray, stop this protege of yours before it's too late. Think of the mischief
you're doing !
Leila: (crying) But we can't stop him now. (Aside to Celia) Aren't they lovely? (Aloud) Oh
why did you go and defy us, you great geese ?

(Sxev/nt Mountararat and TolloUer. Fairies gaze wistfully after them. Enter Fairy Queen.)
Oh, shame! shame upon you! Is this your fidelity to the laws you are bound to obey?
Know ye not that it is death to marry a mortal ?
Yes; but it's not death to wish to marry a mortal.
If it were you'd have to execute us all.
Oh, this is weakness! Subdue it !
We know it's weakness, but the weakness is so strong !
We are not all as tough as you are .
Tough ? Do you suppose that I am insensible to the effect of manly beauty ? Look at
that man (referring to Pvt. Willis). A perfect picture ! — (to Pvt. Willis) Who are you, sir ?
Private Willis, B Company, First Battalion Grenadier Guards.
You're a fine fellow, sir.
I am generally admired.
I can quite understand it.— (To Fairies) Now, here is a man whose physical attrib-
utes are simply godlike. That man has a most extraordinary effect upon me. If I
yielded to a natural impulse I should fall down and worship that man. But I mortify
this inclination; I wrestle with it, and it lies beneath my feet. This is how I treat
my regard for that man .

/(Exeunt Fairies sorron fully , headed by Fairy Queen)
{Enter Phyllis)
Phyllis: (half crying) I can't think why I'm not in better spirits. I'm engaged to two noble-
men at once. That ought to be enough to make any girl happy; but I'm miserable.
Don't suppose it's because I care for Strephon, for I hate him! No girl would care for
a man who goes about with a mother considerably younger than himself.
{Enter Lord Mountararat)
Ld. Mount.: Phyllis ! my own !
Phyllis : Don't ! How dare yon ? But perhaps you are one of the noblemen I'm engaged to ?
Ld. Mount.: I'm one of them.
Phyllis: Oh! But how came you to have a peerage ?
Ld. Mount.: It's a prize for being born first.
Phyllis: Oh, I see— -a kind of Derby cup.
Ld. Mount.: Not at all. I'm of a very old and distinguished family.
Phyllis: And you're proud of your race? Of course you are; you won it. But why are people
made peers?
Ld. Mount.: The principle is not easy to explain.
{Enter Lord Tolloller, L.)
Ld.ToU.: Phyllis! my darling! {embraces her)
Phyllis: Here's the other! Well, have you settled which it's to be ?
Ld.Toll.: Not altogether; it's a difficult position. It would be hardly delicate to toss up. On
the whole, we would rather leave it to you.
Phyllis: How can it possibly concern me ? You are both earls, and you are both rich, and you
are both plain.
40089
161
Ld. Mount.: So we are. At least I am.
"~ Ld.TolL: So am I.
Ld. Mount.: No, no!
Ld.Toll.: Oh, I am indeed very plain.
Ld. Mount.: Well, well! perhaps you are.
Phyllis : There's really nothing to choose between you. If one of you would forego his title
and distribute his estates among his Irish tenantry, why, then I should see a rea-
son for accepting the other. (Phyllis retires vp).
Ld. Mount.: TolloUer, are you prepared to make this sacrifice ?
— Ld.TolL: No!
Ld. Mount.: Not even to oblige a lady?
— Ld.Toll.: No!
Ld. Mount.: Then the only question is, which of us shall give way to the other? Perhaps, on the
whole, she would be happier with me ? I don't know; I may be wrong.
Ld. Toll.: No, I don't know that you are. I really think that she would. But the painful part of
the thing is, that if you rob me of the girl of my heart, one of us must perish.
Ld. Mount.: Again the question arises, which shall it be? Do you feel inclined to make this sacri-
fice?
— Ld.Toll.: No!
Ld. Mount.: Not even to oblige a gentleman?
- — Ld.Toll.: Impossible ! The ToUoller.s have invariably destroyed their successful rivals. It's a
family tradition that I have sworn to respect.
Ld. Mount.: I see. Did you swear it before a commissioner ?
■^-Ld.Toll.: I did, on affidavit.
Ld. Mount.: Then J don't see how you can help yourself.
Ld.Toll.: It's a painful position, for I have a strong regard for you, George, (shake hands)
Ld. Mount.: (much affected) My dear Thomas!
" Ld.Toll.: You are very dear to me, George. We were boys together— at least /was. If I were
to destroy you, my existence would be hopelessly embittered.
Ld. Mount.: Then, my dear Thomas, you must not do it. I say it again and again: if it will have this
effect on you, you must not do it. No, no! If one of us is to destroy the other, let it be me.
^ Ld.Toll.: No, no!
Ld. Mount.: Ah yes! By our boyish friendship I implore you. (shake hands)
— Ld.Toll.: rOT««"A woj'erfj Well! well! be it so. But no, no! I cannot consent to an art which would
crush you with unavailing remorse.
Ld. Mount.: But it would not do so. I should be very sad at first— oh! who would not be?— but it
would wear off. Hike you very mwich. (shake ^ffwrf.sjbut not,perhaps,asmuchasyoulikeme.
~^ Ld.Toll.: George, you're a noble fellow, but that tell-tale tear betrays you. No, George, you are
very fond of me, and I cannot consent to give you a week's uneasiness on my account.
Ld. Mount.: But, dear Thomas, it would not last a week. Remember, you lead the House of Lords;
on your demise I shall take your place. Oh, Thomas, it would not last a day !
Ld.Toll.: It's very kind and thoughtful of you to look at it in that light, but there's no disguis-
ing it, George — we're in a very awkward position.
Phyllis : fi'OOT?'w^rfo?rwJ Now, I do hope you're not going to fight about me, because it really
isn't worth while.
^ Ld.Toll.: I don't believe it is.
Ld. Mount.: Nor I. The sacred ties of friendship are paramount. No consideration shall induce
me to raise my hand against Thomas.
"^^ Ld.Toll.: And in my eyes the life of George is more sacred than love itself.

During the last lines lords Mountararat and TolloUer have entered.
They gaze sympathetically upon the Lord Chancellor's distress. At the
end of his so^ig they come forward. ^ .

Ld. Mount.: I am much distressed to see your lordship in this condition.
Ld.Chan.: Ah, my lords, it is seldom that a Lord Chancellor has reason to envy the position
of another, but I am free to confess that I would rather be two earls engaged to
Phyllis than any other half-dozen noblemen upon the face of the globe.
Ld.Toll.: (without enthusiasm) Yes. In away, it's an enviable position.
Ld. Mount.: Oh yes — no doubt most enviable. At the same time, seeing you thus, we naturally
say to ourselves, "This is very sad. His lordship is constitutionally as blithe as a
bird— he trills upon the bench like a thing of song and gladness. His series of
judgments in Fsharp, given andante in six-eight time, are among the most remark-
able effects ever produced in a court of Chancery. He is, perhaps, the only living
instance of a judge whose decrees have received the honor of a double encore.How
can we bring ourselves to do that which will deprive the court of Chancery of one of
its most attractive features?"
Ld. Chan.: I feel the force of your remarks, but I cannot make up my mind to apply to myself
again. I am here in a double capacity. Firstly, as a Lord Chancellor entrusted with
the guardianship of this charming girl; and, secondly, as a suitor for her hand. In
my latter capacity I am overawed by my dignity in my former capacity; I hesitate
to approach myself— it unnerves me.
Ld.Toll.: It's a difficult position. This is what it is to have two capacities. Let us be thank-
ful that we are persons of no capacity whatever.
Ld. Mount.: But take courage ! Remember, you are a very just and kindly old gentleman, and
you need have no hesitation in approaching yourself, so that you do so respectful-
ly and with a proper show of deference.
Ld.Chan.: Do you really think so? Well, I will nerve myself to another effort,and if that fails
I resign myself to my fate.

formed which title your ladyship has pleased to elect.
I haven't quite decided. You see, / have no itiother to advise tne.
No; I have.
Yes, a yoMK^ mother.
Not very— a couple of centuries or so.
Oh, she wears well.
She does; she's a fairy.
I beg your pardon— a what ?
Oh, I've no longer any reason to conceal the fact— she's a fairy.
A fairy! Well, but -that would account for a good many things. Then I suppose you're
a fairy ?
I'm half a fairy.
Which half?
The upper half —down to the waistcoat.
Dear niQ\ (prodding him with her fingers) There is nothing to show it. But why didn't
you tell me this before ?
I thought you would take a dislike to me. But as it's all off, you may as well know
the truth — I'm only half a mortal.
(crying) But I'd rather have half a mortal I do love than half a dozen I don't.
Oh, I think not. Go to your half dozen.
(crying) It's Only two, and I hate 'em! Please forgive me.
: I don't think I ought to. Besides, all sorts of difficulties will arise. You know my
grandmother looks quite as young as my mother. So do all my aunts.
I quite understand. Whenever I see you kissing a very young lady I shall know it's
an elderly relative.
; You will ? Then, Phyllis, I think we shall be very happy, (embracing her)
We won't wait long before we marry; we might change our minds.
: Yes— we'll get married first.
And change our minds afterwards.
: Yes, that's the usual course.

Phyllis:
But does your mother know you're — I mean, is she aware of our engagement ?
(Enter lolanthe)
She is, and thus she welcomes her daughter-in-law. (kisses her)
She kisses just like other people ! But the Lord Chancellor ?
I had forgotten him.— Mother, none can resist your fairy eloquence. You will go to
him and plead for us ?
(Aside) Go to h^iml — (almid) No, no! impossible!
But our happiness, our vBry lives, depend upon our obtaining his consent.
Oh, madam, you cannot refuse to do this?
You know not what you ask ! The Lord Chancellor is my husband !
I Your husband?
My husband and your father ! (Strephon overcome)
Then our course is plain. On his learning that Strephon is his son, all objections
to our marriage will be at once removed.
lolanthe: Nay, he must never know. He believes me to have died childless; and, dearly as I
love him, I am bound, under penalty of death, not to deceive him .But see,he comes!
Quick, my veil! (Retires up)
(Enter Lord Chancellor. lolanthe retires with Strephon and Phyllis)
Ld.Chan.. Victory! victory! Success has crowned my efforts, and Imay consider myself engaged
to Phyllis. At first I wouldn't hear of it; it was out of the question. But I took heart.
I pointed out to myself that I was no stranger to myself —in point of fact, I had been
persoucilly acquainted with myself for some years. This had its effect. I admitted that
I had watched my professional advancement with considerable interest, and I hand-
somely added that I yielded to no one in admiration for my private and professional
virtues. This was a great point gained. I then endeavored to work upon my feelings.
Conceive my joy when I distinctly perceived a tear glistening in my own eye! Even-
tually, after a severe struggle with myself, I reluctantly, most reluctantly, consented.
(lolanthe comes down, Strephon and Phyllis going off .)
But whom have we here?

(The Peers and Strephon enter. The Queen raises her spear. Lord Chancellor and
Strephon implore her mercy, Leila and Celia rush foruard.)
Leila: Hold! If lolanthe must die, so must we all, for as she has sinned, so have we.
Queen: What?
(Peers and Fairies kneel to fier—Lord Mountararat ivith Leila; Lord TolloUer with Celia.)
Celia: We are all fairy duchesses, marchionesses, countesses, viscountesses, and baronesses.
Ld.Mount.: It's our fault; they couldn't help themselves.
Queen: It seems they have helped themselves, and pretty freely ioo\ — (Aftpr a pause) You have
all incurred death, but I can't slaughter the whole company. And yet (unfolding a
scroll) the law is clear: Every fairy must die who marries a mortal!
Ld.Chan.: Allow me, as an old equity draughtsman, to make a suggestion. The subleties of the
legal mind are equal to the emergency. The thing is really quite simple; the inser-
tion of a single word will do it. Let it stand that every fairy shall die who don't
marry a mortal, and there you are, out of your difficulty at once !
Queen: We like your humor. Very well. CAlteringthe MS. t«pcw«7^— Private Willis!
Pvt.WilliS: (coming fonvard) Ma'am?
Queen: To save my life it is necessary that I marry at once. How should you like to be a
fairy Guardsman ?
Pvt.WilliS: Well, ma'am, I don't think much of the British soldier who wouldn't ill-convenience
himself to save a female in distress.
Queen: You are a brave fellow. You're a fairy from this moment. (Wings spring from SentryTs
shoulders.)— And you, my lords, how say you ? Will you join our ranks ?
(fairies kneel to Peers, and implore them, to do so.)
Ld.Mount.: (to TolloUer) Well, now that the peers are to be recruited entirely from persons of
intelligence, I really don't see what use we are down here.
Ld.Toll.: None, whatever.
Queen : Good ! (Wings spring from the shoulders of Peers.)— Then away we go to Fairyland !
