Matt. Now, Lucas——
Criddle appears at door.
Criddle. Your horse is waiting for you, sir.
Lucas. My horse?!
Criddle. Yes, sir, just outside.
Lucas. What on earth do they mean? A valuable horse like that—just clipped—standing about on a night like this—who told them?
Dolly. I did. The horse is waiting to take you back to Aldershot.
Lucas. I can't go back to Aldershot in this kit. [Pointing to his dress-clothes.] Tell them to take it back to the Red Lion!
Dolly. And Criddle, give the man Captain Wentworth's portmanteau to take to the Red Lion at the same time.
