Jack. I wonder what you think of the world now you’ve come into it; what are your general impressions of mankind?

Jack. Decidedly.

Walter. I can’t see much sense in it myself; however, if it pleases you—I’m going to have some lunch. (Goes up to table in recess.)

Jack (calls up). Mr. Davidson! (No answer.) I’ve made it angry. (Calls.) Mr. Davidson—I say, Davidson—Mr. Cyril Davidson—sir,—oh, it’s in a pet and declines to answer me.

Stella. Jack, a boy brought this. (Gives note.)

Jack (tears it open). Jobbins is something like a detective. “Just seen Mr. Everest, he is running. Jobbins.”
