What for?
Mr. Posket.
For leading me astray, sir. Yours is the first bad companionship I have ever formed! Evil communication with you, sir, has corrupted me! [Taking Cis by the collar and shaking him.] Why did you abandon me at Kilburn?
Cis.
Because you were quite done, and I branched off to draw the crowd away from you after me.
Mr. Posket.
Did you, Cis, did you? [Putting his hand on Cis’s shoulder.] My boy—my boy! Oh, Cis, we’re in such trouble!
Cis.
You weren’t caught, Guv?
