The Toff [putting his own away]. No revolvers, please.
Albert. Why not?
The Toff. Because I don't want any noise at my party. We might get guests that hadn't been invited. Knives are a different matter. [All draw knives. The Toff signs to them not to draw them yet. Toffy has already taken back his ruby.]
Bill. I think they're coming, Toffy.
The Toff. Not yet.
Albert. When will they come?
The Toff. When I am quite ready to receive them. Not before.
Sniggers. I should like to get this over.
The Toff. Should you? Then we'll have them now.
Sniggers. Now?
