Voice [partly aside]: The longer you wait, the greater our honor. Mary, have another drop.

Student: Why, the scamp is drinking the beer! Thomas! Who’s there with you?

Voice: Myself. [Aside] Make haste with the pot, Mary; he’s in such a hurry.

Student: You drinking rascal, how dare you!

Voice: Coming, sir. The barrel’s nearly empty.

Student: I should think so, tippling as you are at it.

Voice: Now don’t be saucy.

Student: The fellow is getting intoxicated. Thomas!

Voice: Wait till I come. I have waited for you many times.

Student: I suppose it is of no use hurrying you?
