SKRUFF. That’s a remarkable fact!—find yourself comfortable here, eh, Sally?
SALLY. Nothing much to complain of, sir; twelve pounds a year, everything found—except beer—and every other Sunday!
SKRUFF (aside). Except beer and every other Sunday! (Aloud.) And your young ladies, Sally. They treat you kindly, eh?
SALLY. Yes, sir. We get on very comfortably, my young Missussesses and me.
SKRUFF (aside.) She gets on very comfortably, her young Missussesses and she.
SALLY. They give me their old dresses and does their own hair.
SKRUFF. Oh! they does their own hair, does they? Ah! (with intention). It’s a nice thing, Sally, to come in for a hatful of money, eh?
SALLY. Yes, sir. Ever so much nicer than sixpence?
SKRUFF. Ah! Miss Hetty will be a fortunate girl, eh?
