[Still looking out, while the chant finishes with a few shouts, as though a halt were called.] They seem to be stopping outside the 'ouse. Them camuels have folded up, and all the niggers as is with them is a kneelin' down with their noses on the kerbstone!

Horace.

Mrs. Rapkin.

[Still at window.] But they're unpackin' the camuels now! And—well, if they ain't bringing everythink in 'ere!

[She retreats to behind the table.

Horace.
