(Cutting the fowl.)

Wid. Bread.

(Claps the loaf of bread on the dish before Mary White, who throws it at him.)

Mary. Roll, stupid. Plates, waiter. (Widgetts puts the roll under his arm, and hands plates to Mary White.) Allow me to add a kidney. They look beautiful.

Cheri. Thank you.

(Mary White puts some fowl and a sausage on the plate, which she gives to Widgetts for Mdlle. Cheri Bounce, and then helps herself.)

Wid. (Comes down with the plate in his hand.) How uncommon savoury it smells. He’s not looking.

(Takes the kidney off the plate, and puts it in his pocket.)

Mary. Waiter. (Widgetts lays the plate before Mdlle. Cheri Bounce.) Open that champagne, waiter.
