[Enter SERVANT.]
SERVANT
Captain Absolute, sir.
ACRES
Oh! show him up.
[Exit SERVANT.]
DAVID
Well, Heaven send we be all alive this time to-morrow.
ACRES
What's that?—Don't provoke me, David!
DAVID
Good-bye, master. [Whimpering.]
ACRES
Get along, you cowardly, dastardly, croaking raven!
[Exit DAVID.]
