RUTH. Violence is never right.
MATTHEW. Oh, yes, it is. Often. I've counselled peace, but there's a time for war, and if the time comes, old as I am, I'll do my share.
JOE (coming across with drawing). Look here, Butter-worth. See that? He drew it. Guy Barlow drew that. That's what he thinks of us.
MATTHEW (taking it). A drawing?
JOE (pointing). That's me.
MATTHEW. Nay, never.
JOE. I pin my waistcoat up that road 'cause all the world don't need to know I haven't got a shirt.
MATTHEW (looking at drawing). Yes. He's spotted that right enough.
MARTIN (over Matthew's shoulder). And that scarecrow's meant for me.
MATTHEW (smiling in spite of himself). Well, he's a clever drawer, Mr. Guy.
