Butts. Will you take a little bit of advice from me?
Harry. No, sir. I won’t take any thing from you. You’d like to catch me tripping; but you haven’t got me yet, Mr. Butts.
Butts. No, not just yet; but, if your acquaintance with Capt. Pitman continues, it won’t be long. Good-day! (Exit, C.)
Harry. I’ll take good care to cut the acquaintance of Capt. Pitman. I’ve had a narrow escape; and I’ll keep out of his den. (Enter Lucy, Mrs. Loring, and Dilly, with flag, L.)
Dilly. Here’s the flag, Harry: isn’t it a beauty?
Harry. It is, indeed; and I’ll do my best to win it for you, Dilly. Where’s Fred? (Enter Fred, R., in boating costume, red.)
Fred. Here’s Fred, ready and “eager for the fray.”
Harry. Good! Run for Bob, and we’ll be off.
Dilly. Oh! he’s always last. (Enter, Bob, R., in boating costume, white.)
