KOSTILYOFF [with a start] God, what a noise!
[The Actor enters.]
THE ACTOR. I’ve put her down in the hall and wrapped her up.
KOSTILYOFF. You’re a kindly fellow. That’s good. Some day you’ll be rewarded for it.
THE ACTOR. When?
KOSTILYOFF. In the Beyond, little brother—there all our deeds will be reckoned up.
THE ACTOR. Suppose you reward me right now?
KOSTILYOFF. How can I do that?
THE ACTOR. Wipe out half my debt.
