CRILLY (with parental dignity) Don't talk to me in that way, Sir.
ALBERT
It's scandalous, really. I expect you've ruined the business.
CRILLY
I hate the world and all its works and pomps.
ALBERT
I believe you've done for the business. I'm going away.
CRILLY
Then you've got the other appointment?
ALBERT Temporary clerkship in the Land Department. I wonder would the mother let me have the money for clothes?
CRILLY (desperately) Don't mention it at all to her.
ALBERT I have a card from a Dublin tailor in my pocket. If I could pay him for one suit, I could get another on tick.
CRILLY
I tell you not to talk to your mother about money. That fellow,
Scollard, has put her out.
ALBERT
How's that?
