JACK MEDBURY.

Yes, something rather important. I thought I'd just run down and see you about it. (Shaking hands with Cherry.) You're not looking too well, Mr. Cherry.

ADAM CHERRY.

I'm a little worried, my dear boy—a little worried.

JACK MEDBURY.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Well, look here, I'll talk about this matter to Ted, then. I won't trouble you with it.

ADAM CHERRY.

No, dear boy; no. If it's about anybody else's worries it will help me to forget my own. What is it? Nothing wrong with you, I hope?

JACK MEDBURY.

No, it's about other people. (Commencing to take paper from his pocket.) Have you seen The Illustrated Police News this week?
