DE W. (L.) Thwaites!
THWAITES. (coming down L. C.) At your service, sir.
(THWAITES hands tray to PAWKINS, who first takes an ice, then a spoon, and eats during the following scene)
DE W. (drawing THWAITES aside, L.) You observe that person?
THWAITES. Yes, sir: I don’t think him much ’count, sir.
DE W. If that man steals anything, you shall have a couple of sovereigns.
THWAITES. No!
DE W. Spread out the plate as much as you can, give him every opportunity.
WHITE. (R., beckons THWAITES to him, at back) Here, waiter!
THWAITES. (going to WHITEWASH at back, R. C.) Yes, sir!
