The Toff. Hullo, here's Jacob Smith, Esquire, J. P., alias Sniggers, back again.
Sniggers. Toffy, I've been thinking about my share in that ruby. I don't want it, Toffy; I don't want it.
The Toff. Nonsense, Sniggers. Nonsense.
Sniggers. You shall have it, Toffy, you shall have it yourself, only say Sniggers has no share in this 'ere ruby. Say it, Toffy, say it!
Bill. Want to turn informer, Sniggers?
Sniggers. No, no. Only I don't want the ruby, Toffy....
The Toff. No more nonsense, Sniggers. We're all in together in this. If one hangs, we all hang; but they won't outwit me. Besides, it's not a hanging affair, they had their knives.
Sniggers. Toffy, Toffy, I always treated you fair, Toffy. I was always one to say, Give Toffy a chance. Take back my share, Toffy.
The Toff. What's the matter? What are you driving at?
Sniggers. Take it back, Toffy.
