Dolly. You keep out of this, I'll talk to him.

Jack (impetuously). Look here! I want to help your sister. I won't stand by and see her die.

Dolly. What's it to you if she does?

Jack. Didn't she save me from jail?

Dolly. That wasn't much.

Jack. It was her best. Now I want to do mine. Listen to me! Let Belle have a chance. It's been a long time since she's had one, I fancy.

Dolly. That's true enough. But she'll be on her job tomorrow.

Jack. She's ill.

Dolly. She's been ill a long time.

Jack. She can't go on forever! And what then? Can you take her job?
