Plumpface. You villain! (Shakes fist at Oldbuck.)
Oldbuck. You swindler! (Shakes fist at Plumpface.)
Dr. A. (stepping between them). Gentlemen, be calm. 'Tis the proud boast of medical science that it can settle all difficulties, mental as well as physical. You need my aid; but such are the claims upon my time that I cannot, without doing injustice to my numerous patients, attend to you at present. Give me your address, and I will call upon you at the earliest possible moment.
Oldbuck. I am Squire Oldbuck.
Dr. A. (aside). The rich squire—good!
Plumpface. And I am Peter Plumpface. (Cough.)
Dr. A. (aside). The great manufacturer—good!
Oldbuck. I can pay handsomely.
Plumpface. I can pay liberally.
Dr. A. Gentlemen, you shall receive my early attention. You will pardon me, but I have a patient in the house who requires my immediate attention.
