MRS. MUNNING. In a good cause.

PAUL. A good cause is a better cause when it's cheap, and this is coming out a bit expensive.

(Enter Sally.)

MRS. MUNNING. What is it, Sally?

SALLY. The door bell, Mrs. Munning.

(Sally crosses and exit.)

PAUL. An order, if we're lucky.

MRS. MUNNING. Well, you are lucky, lately, aren't you? Everything you can think of 's going right, (Sally re-enters.)

SALLY. It's Mr. Wrigley and some friends.

(Wrigley enters with Thomas Mowatt and Harry Shoe-bridge. Mowatt is a fat, red-faced dairyman and Shoe-bridge is a farmer, tall, with brown face and mutton-chop whiskers. Wrigley has a large jug of ale and puts it on table.)
