Dibbs. Here comes Mr. Bellamy, sir!
Enter Fred, L. 2 E., without his coat.
Sel. At last, my dear Fred, at last! I want you to do me a favor!
Fred (aside). I suppose so! (Aloud.) I certainly do not consider it doing me a favor when I am awoke at unearthly hours.
Sel. First let me explain—(noticing Dibbs is listening.) Thank you, Dibbs, I shall not want you any more!
Dibbs (aside). As usual! Always turned out when the interest begins! Never mind, I’ve got a very good ear and the door’s got a very good key-hole; and by putting this (touching ear) and that (pointing to key-hole) together, I may hear of something to my advantage as the advertisements say.
(Exit Dibbs, R. 2 E.
Sel. Sit down, my dear boy.
Fred (yawning). If he is going to spin me one of his long yarns I shall never keep awake! (Sits in arm chair.)
Sel. Fred, we are brothers! (Taking chair over to L.)
