NEW. (Comes to door.) Come along, thick-headed snail!

BOLT. Snail, do you call me! Ah, you don’t know what I am.

(Exit through door.)

MIZ. (Comes forward.) Egad, there’s one chance,—when master goes home, that fellow may shoot him through the head—he can’t find me out—that would be lucky: but one linendraper should never desert another;—I’ll go into the kitchen—get the poker, and surprise the rascal in the rear.

(Exit, D. F.)

Chamber, large cupboard in centre.—NEWGATE and BOLT discovered at back, taking plate, and putting it in bag. NEWGATE has a lighted lantern.—Dark.

NEW. Come, bustle about, man; you’ll see twice as well if you take that mask off.
