The Magistrate: A Farce in Three Acts

by Arthur Wing Pinero

Yes, sir.

Mr. Posket.

And keep the change for your trouble.

Lugg.

Thank you, sir; thank you, sir—very much obliged to you, sir. [To himself.] That’s like a liberal gentleman.

[Lugg goes out as Mr. Wormington enters through the curtains with the charge sheet in his hand. Mr. Wormington, on seeing Mr. Posket, uneasily tucks his pocket-handkerchief in his collar so as to hide his necktie.

Mr. Wormington.

H’m! Good morning.

Mr. Posket.
