Matt. I can't get a wink of sleep——
[Dolly takes out about twenty more bills.
Harry. I insist on seeing the whole lot! So there!
Dolly. [Flourishing the bills, strewing them on the floor.] Well there! And there! And there! And there! Now you've got the whole lot! And I hope you're satisfied. I'm going into Renie's room! [Exit.
Harry. I insist on your going through these bills——
[Following her off. Their voices are heard retreating upstairs, Dolly saying, "go through the bills! Send for Miss Smithson! Have her here to-morrow morning! Take your proceedings," Harry saying, "I insist on going through the bills to-night! Do you hear, madam, I insist! Will you come down and go through these bills," etc.
Matt. [Listens, as their voices die away. When the voices have ceased, he surveys the scene.] We're making a splendid start for the New Year!
[Sees the box on the floor, picks it up, carefully places it on table and goes off.
CURTAIN.
