Corio. Fits close, eh? [Cuts again.]
Dol. [Struggling.] Oh! oh! [Pleads.] Good Coriolanus, please—please don’t! [Coriolanus cuts again.] Oh! Don’t you know your old friend, Dollerclutch?

Hen. [To Coriolanus.] Hold! Let me look at him! Ha! ha! ha! It is Dollerclutch, by all that’s wonderful! [Releases Dollerclutch.] Ha! ha! ha! a good joke!
Dol. [Rises to his feet.] A joke, sir? Do you call that a joke? But, I’ll now give you an exhibition of my bravery, sir! [Pounces suddenly upon Coriolanus. They struggle off, L. 3 E. All laugh.]
Adol. I guess we’ve taken the conceit out of him, Captain!
