Topp. I shall receive your missive with pleasure.

Tick. (Aside.) Poor innocent thing. Not if I can save her. (Theatrically.) I will save her!

Topp. Eh, what’s that you say?

Tick. Oh, nothing much!

Topp. (Bows and leads way for Angie, going L.) I am delighted, Miss Twiggs—delighted with this short call. Potts will show you out in a minute.

Enter Gin. L.

Potts, stir yourself! show this young lady out.

Gin. Yis, sah.

Topp. And show that young man out, too. You black rascal, I told you to do that before.
