Doctor. But, Butts, listen to me. (Takes Butts, R., and they talk together earnestly.)

Harry. (L.) Oh, this is too much! Must I be arraigned as a criminal?

Dilly. Why don’t you run away? I would.

Harry. Thank you for the hint, Dilly.

Dilly. Your boat’s down at the foot of the garden.

Harry. And, if I strike across, I can reach the road. Ah, Dilly! yours is a wise little head. Bob, here. (Bob crosses R.) Can I depend upon you? Will you stick by me?

Bob. Like a poor man’s plaster. It’s just my luck!

Harry. Then meet me in half an hour at the big oak by Jones’s lot.

Bob. I’ll be there.
