JOHN. Then what are the others here for?

TULLY. To help the others, I suppose.

JOHN (calling to hand). Well, I’ll go two.

TULLY. Now, Mrs. Ayers, didn’t we stipulate that there were to be no two’s? (To JOHN.) At two-handed nap you can’t call less than three surely.

(They both argue loudly.)

PAMELA (looking round). Now don’t quarrel, there’s good children.

JOHN. Tully’s a bad loser.

TULLY. I’m not. You’re a bad player. How can we possibly call two’s—it’s no game at all.

JOHN. Well, I go—three!

TULLY. Very good, I pass three.
