Mr. Stan. Well, what do you want more?
In.-Gen. The proposals themselves.
Mr. Stan. They will come in good time.
In.-Gen. No time in this matter will be good—except the present.
Mr. Stan. Oh, you leave it to me, you will see it will be all right.
In.-Gen. No—unless you attend to the matter at once—now—at this moment.
Mr. Stan. How you do take me up! What a hurry you are in!
In.-Gen. Shilly-shallying to the rear—action to the front. Now, then, produce your proposals.
