Leggatt. (Coolly.) I will speak. Landlord, it is my deliberate opinion that you keep the worst hotel that I ever saw.
Land. That’s a slander, strictly first-class! But the shot?
Leggatt. In the absence of a bell the shot was simply to call you.
Land. (Angrily.) Why, you don’t mean to say—
Leggatt. That’s just what I mean to say. You were to put only quiet people in here.
Land. Bulger is all right. Best man on the road.
Leggatt. He has softening of the brain.
Land. Impossible! Bulger is one of the best salesmen on the road.
Leggatt. I’ve had enough of him. I think he’s crazy. (B. angry gesture from behind curtain.)
Land. Nonsense! His head is as level as—as mine.
