Oak. Here; I’ll fix you. (Gives Timothy a thump on the back.)

Tim. Murder and Irish! you’ve broke my ribs!

Hor. Come, come, Tim; put a smiling expression upon your face.

Tim. Smile, is it, with a hornet crawling up my back!

Hor. We’re wasting time. Smile, I tell you.

Tim. Well, then, here goes. (A horrible smile.)

Hor. Now, Loopstitch, triumph in your face.

Loop. Oui, oui. Vive la triomphe!

Hor. That’s very good. Now, Picket, let a martial spirit glow in your face.
