(Enter a Servant.)
Servant.—If you please, sir, here's a person wants to speak to you.
Manager.—I'm busy about the opening of the theatre; tell him you can't get near me.
Servant.—But he says he's an author, sir, and has called about his piece.
Manager.—His piece! why, these authors let me have no peace at all.
Servant.—He would come up, sir, though I told him you wouldn't suffer any one behind the scenes.
Manager.—And particularly an author; for he makes people suffer enough before them.
Servant.—Here he is, sir; he would force his way up.
(Exit Servant. Enter Fitz-Growl.)
Manager.—My servant says you would force your way up.
