A soldier, did you say?

Abbot. In Egypt and the Transvaal.

Sir T. Intelligent?

Abbot. I think he is.

Sir T. Send for him.

[Abbot goes out.]

Letters, Hildreth?
Ah, what are these? The bank, the law. No stamp;
Not posted; sent by hand.

Hildreth. An hour ago.

Sir T. Well, we have scorned such documents before.
Set them aside unopened.—Did you hear?

Hildreth. Hear? No.
