Tee. [Ignoring Olangtsi.] August Lady, we were only correcting Tikipu for his persistent indolence. The commotion which you heard just now was caused by his resistance. We now perceive that correction on our part was superfluous.
Olang. Superfluous? Of course! I can chastise Tikipu for myself—as much as I think necessary:—that is, with assistance from the right quarter. Gentlemen, your immediate and polite attention.
Mrs. O. [To Han-Kin, who endeavours to conceal sign-board.] Yes—you’d better put it out of sight! Any more things like that, and out of this shop you go.
Olang. Yes: anything more of that kind, and you leave my studio instantly.
Mrs. O. Shop, I said.
Olang. Studio is more correct.
Mrs. O. Shop!
Olang. Shop, as far as you are concerned, my dear; and—of course—shop as far as he is concerned. Understand:—
Out of this shop
Neck and crop!
