James.

I would 'ave you know that I'm a gentleman, and what's more, I'm an Englishman. And I'm proud of it. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. I've never 'ad any one try and bribe me before.

John.

[Indifferently.] Otherwise you would, doubtless, have accepted.

James.

I've got more than half a mind to knock you down.

John.

[With a slight smile.] Come, come, Mr. Bush, don't be ridiculous. You'd far better keep quiet, you know.

James.
