Do as I do--tip him.
MR. POSKET.
What!
CIS.
Tip him.
MR. POSKET.
Oh, yes--yes. Where's my money?
[_CIS takes two coins out of MR. POSKET'S pocket and gives them to him without looking at them._
CIS.
[_To MR. POSKET._] Give him that.
MR. POSKET.
Yes.
CIS.
And say--"Wyke, you want a new umbrella--buy a very good one. Your mistress has a latch-key, so go to bed."
MR. POSKET.
Wyke!
WYKE.
Yes, sir.
MR. POSKET.
[_Giving him money._] Go to bed--buy a very good one. Your mistress has a latch-key--so--so you want a new umbrella!
WYKE.
All right, sir. You can depend on me. Are you well m.u.f.fled up, sir?
Mind you take care of him, Master Cis.
CIS.
[_Supporting MR. POSKET; MR. POSKET groaning softly._] Capital, Guv, capital. Are you hungry?
MR. POSKET.
Hungry! You're a wicked boy. I've told a falsehood.
CIS.
No, you haven't, Guv--he really does want a new umbrella.
MR. POSKET.
Does he, Cis? Does he? Thank heaven!
[_They go out._
WYKE.
[_Looking at money_] Here! What, twopence! [_Throws the coins down in disgust._] I'll tell the missus.
END OF THE FIRST ACT.
THE SECOND ACT
_The scene is a supper-room at the Hotel des Princes, Meek Street, with two doors--the one leading into an adjoining room, the other into a pa.s.sage--and a window opening on to a balcony._
_ISIDORE, a French waiter, is showing in CIS and MR. POSKET._
CIS.
Come on, Guv--come on. How are you, Isidore?
ISIDORE.
I beg your pardon--I am quite well, and so are you, zank you.
CIS.
I want a pretty little light supper for myself and my friend, Mr.
Skinner.
ISIDORE.
Mr. Skinner.
MR. POSKET.
[_To CIS._] Skinner! Is some one else coming?
CIS.
