Josephine and Ralph Rackstraw
Can I survive this overbearing?

Things are seldom what they seem
Little Buttercup and Captain Corcoran
The hours creep on apace

Never mind the why or wherefore

Act 3
Sung By
Hark, the hour of ten is sounding
Chorus
When first my old, old love I knew
The Defendant
All hail great judge
Chorus
When, I good friends, was called to the bar
The Learned Judge
Swear thou the jury
Counsel for the Plaintiff and Usher
Where is the plaintiff?
Counsel for the Plaintiff and Usher
Comes the broken flower
Bridesmaids
O'er the season vernal
Plaintiff
Oh, never, never, never
The Learned Judge
May it please you, my lud
Counsel for the Plaintiff and All
That she is reeling
The Learned Judge, Foreman of the Jury, Plaintiff and All
A nice dilemma we have here
The Learned Judge, Counsel for the Plaintiff, The Defendant and Plaintiff
I love him-I love him
Plaintiff and The Defendant
The question, gentlemen
The Learned Judge, Counsel for the Plaintiff and All
