Peale. (Sitting in arm-chair L. of table) But can’t you raise it?
Rodney. (To Peale) How?
Peale. Don’t ask me. Raising money is the only thing I never got on to——
Rodney. Peale, you’re fired.
Peale. Well, it was a good job while it lasted.
Rodney. (Rises) Gimme back that $25.
Peale. (Rises, take out money and returns it to Rodney) Good-bye, old pal.
Mary. (Rises, and comes down-stage between Rodney and Peale) But couldn’t you start with less?
Rodney. Of course we could. Couldn’t we, Peale?
Peale. Not and do it right. No use wasting money piking when you advertise. Splurge, my lad, splurge or let it remain dormant.
