Mr. T. Apologize, never! Now, sir, (Following Topp.) I challenge you to a round outside. (Mrs. T. screams.)
Angie. Mother, please be quiet.
Topp. I’ll have you up for assault and battery.
Mr. T. Try it if you dare.
Tick. Three cheers for the old man.
Topp. And what’s more, you shall repair that window!
Mr. T. Never!
Mrs. T. Josiah, do be quiet. You are so indiscreet.
Topp. We’ll see about it. Take my word for that. You have the form of lease which reads “All repairs at expense of tenant.” And now Mr. Twiggs, since you know who I am I leave you to your own reflections. (Going R.)
Mrs. T. Please, sir, don’t be hasty! This is all a mistake.
