The Toff. Yes. Listen to me. You shall do as you see me do. You will all pretend to go out. I'll show you how. I've got the ruby. When they see me alone they will come for their idol's eye.
Bill. How can they tell like this which of us has it?
The Toff. I confess I don't know, but they seem to.
Sniggers. What will you do when they come in?
The Toff. I shall do nothing.
Sniggers. What?
The Toff. They will creep up behind me. Then, my friends, Sniggers and Bill and Albert, who gave them the slip, will do what they can.
Bill. All right, Toffy. Trust us.
The Toff. If you're a little slow, you will see enacted the cheerful spectacle that accompanied the demise of Jim.
Sniggers. Don't, Toffy. We'll be there, all right.
