First English Tourist (shoving them aside). Hurry up and fall! Do you hear? If you haven’t the backbone I’ll help you out with a pistol shot.
Voices. That red-haired devil has gone clear out of his mind.
Policeman (seizing the Englishman’s hand). You have no right to do it, it’s against the law. I’ll arrest you.
Some Tourists. A barbarous nation!
(The unknown man shouts something. Excitement below.)
Voices. Hear, hear, hear!
Unknown Man (aloud). Take that jackass away to the devil. He wants to shoot me. And tell the boss that I can’t stand it any longer.
Voices. What’s that? What boss? He is losing his mind, the poor man.
Tourist. Aleck! Mary! This is a mad scene. Jimmie, you remember Hamlet? Quick.
Unknown Man (angrily). Tell him my spinal column is broken.
