JUDGE. Who is that?
PRINCE. [Pointing to the OLD LADY] She is my sister, and so you must be my brother-in-law.
JUDGE. Oh—that lazy scamp!
PRINCE. Look here! In this place we are all lazy scamps.
JUDGE. But we are not all hunchbacks!
PRINCE. [Strikes him a blow on the mouth] Don't touch the hunch or there will be hell to pay!
JUDGE. What a way to treat a man of my ability and high social position! What a Christmas!
PRINCE. Perhaps you expected your usual creamed codfish and Christmas cake?
JUDGE. Not exactly, but there ought to be something to feed on——
PRINCE. Here we are keeping a Christmas fast, you see.
