Ireton:
I don't know how things are going. But I feel that great events are making and that you and Mr. Hampden here may have power to use men. If it should be so, I would be used. That is all.
Cromwell:
John's the man. I'm likely enough to stay the rest of my days in Ely.
Ireton:
I don't think so, sir.
Cromwell:
No? Well. A glass of sherry, John—or gin?
Hampden:
Sherry, Oliver.
