"Faith! yes; I was thinking over a new subject."
"Come with me; you can tell me your plan as we walk."
"I'll go with you gladly; but I won't tell you anything, because you would want to be in the play."
"Well! I would do my share."
"Thanks, I know you! you hang around, you make absurd remarks, you abuse your confrères, you find fault with everything that others do, and never produce anything yourself. That's the way you do your share!"
"You are very polite this morning! I am in several plays, nevertheless, which have had some success."
"Yes, I am well aware that you are; but that doesn't prove that you had anything to do with them. We know how it's worked on the stage nowadays, all the scheming and jobbing that go on there!"
"You are in a savage mood to-day! Do you know that I should be justified in demanding satisfaction for what you have said?"
"Oh! I'm at your service. Do you want to fight? I ask nothing better."
"And I haven't the slightest desire to do it! You're in a bad temper, and I am not. You're looking for a quarrel, and I am looking for sport. Adieu!"
