Miss H. Don't you want to dress?
Shr. What will I dress for? Begob, I can dance just the way I am as well as the next man. Wait till you see me take de flure. Oh, I'm a dandy on me toes [illustrates by a few steps].
Hud. [aside]. Oh, this is too much. I shall have to tell the truth.
[Knock on door.]
There!! Come in!
[Enter Randolph, still in his ulster, with the umbrella and smoking the cigar.]
Rand. Well, Ned, how is——. Oh, I beg pardon! [Starts to back out; Hudson rushes across and seizes him.]
Hud. Randolph! Thank Heaven! Come here. [Takes him aside.] Jack, have you any money with you? As you love me, Jack, let me have it.
Rand. What the deuce is the matter? I have ten dollars in this coat, but I need it.
Hud. Oh, kind Providence has taken care of its own! Let me have it, I tell you. [Randolph gives him the ten-dollar bill. Hudson rushes to Shreedy.]
