Aug. I could swear I saw that statue move! Look it’s shaking its fists at me!
Venus. (Shaking her fists at Augustus.) Villain!
(Alphonzo much alarmed.)
Aug. There it is again! Oh, I’ve got ’em bad again!
Alph. Yes; you’ve got the jim-jams. What, sir—I’ve cut your chin off? Never mind, sir, don’t charge any extra.
Aug. Your kindness only exceeds your beauty! You’ve done it on purpose, because I cut you out with Jane.
Venus. (To herself, loud enough for Alphonzo to hear.) Ah, he knows where she dwells! I will at once ask him!
Alph. Oh, she’ll ruin me! Good morning, sir! Here’s your hat, sir. (Business.—In his hurry to get Augustus out he gives him a basin for his hat; he puts it on; flour falls over him.—Business.)
Aug. What the devil——
Alph. Yes; I think we shall have snow! Good morning, sir.
