Dick. Moselle, what does this mean?
Moselle. Fun! I told you I was all ready for it; and so, while Tom held the "catchee man," as Win calls him, I gave him the benefit of a rope.
Dick. Hung him?
Moselle. Ha, ha, ha! No, only quartered him—under a tree.
Tom. Now, Dick, off with you. Here's my dust (offers bag), and the horse will carry two.
Dick. Not your dust, Tom. I'm to have a companion: who is it?
Tom (with a glance at Agnes). Can you ask?
Dick. I can. Moselle, will you go with me?
Moselle. Me?
Tom (seizes Moselle and places her behind him). Do you dare, before (points to Agnes) the one who has come miles to reclaim you? You know where your duty lies. Take her (takes Agnes by the hand, and leads her up to Dick), and away!
