Mr. T. And who are you to order people out of my house. You had better go too.

Tick. Yes, go to—(Waves him away with comical gesture.)

Topp. (Aside.) Ordered out of my own house! (To Tick) Confound it, I’ll not go!

Mr. T. Then I shall be obliged to eject you.

Tick. That’s right, old man, throw him out. (Crosses L. to Angie and Mrs. T.) Don’t be afraid ladies.
