Alcar. Now, gentlemen, you see how beautifully clear the situation is. By one simple act we shall arrive at a definite and final result, and we shall have avoided all the noise and scandal of a public trial. Mr. X, will you oblige us very much by taking your collar off?
Janet. (Jumping up.) Please, there's just one little thing. (To Carve.) Wait a moment, dear. (To Ebag.) Mr. Ebag, how many of those pictures did you sell to Mr. Texel?
Ebag. Fifteen.
Janet. And you made a profit of over four hundred pounds on each?
Texel. (Boisterously—laughing to Ebag.) You did?
Janet. Fifteen times four hundred—that makes—how much does it make?
Texel. Six thousand, madam. Thirty thousand dollars. Great!
Janet. (To Ebag.) Don't you think we deserve some of that, as it were?
Ebag. Madam, I shall be delighted to pay you five thousand four hundred pounds. That will be equivalent to charging you a nominal commission of ten per cent.
Janet. Thank you.
