Rory. Talbot! Talbot for ever! huzza! Captain Talbot for ever! huzza!
2nd Boy. Captain he’ll never be,—at least not to-morrow; for Lord John has just declared for Wheeler.
1st Boy. And that turns the scale.
Rory. Oh, the scale may turn back again.
3rd Boy. Impossible! Lord John has just given his promise to Wheeler. I heard him with my own ears.
(Several speak at once.) And I heard him; and I! and I! and I!—Huzza! Wheeler for ever!
Rory. Oh, murder! murder! murder! (Aside.) This goes to my heart! it’s all my doing. O, my poor Talbot!—murder! murder! murder! But I won’t let them see me cast down, and it is good to be huzzaing at all events. Huzza for Talbot! Talbot for ever! huzza!
(Exit.)
Enter Wheeler and Bursal.
Wheel. Who was that huzzaing for Talbot?
