Blar. What ho, there! A light for Mr. Remnant! and tell the coachman to bring the coach and drive him home.
Rem. Indeed, sir, it is not necessary. I can walk well enough. But here— (Offering bill.)
Blar. O! I shall not listen to it. Walk? Such a night as this! I am your friend, Remnant, and, what is more, your debtor—your debtor, I say—all the world may know it.
Rem. Ah! sir if you could but find it convenient—
Blar. Hark! There is the coach. One more embrace, my dear Remnant! (Shakes hands again.) Take care of the steps. Command me always; and be sure there is nothing in the world I would not do for you. There! Good-by.
(Exit Remnant, conducted by Col. B.)
