window. He falls back sickly.]
Albert: [In a whisper.]
What has happened?
Sniggers:
I have seen it. I have seen it. O I have seen it. [He returns to table.]
The Toff: [Laying his hand very gently on Sniggers' arm, speaking softly and winningly.]
What was it, Sniggers?
Sniggers:
I have seen it.
Albert:
What?
Sniggers:
O.
Voice:
Meestaire Albert Thomas, Able Seaman.
Albert:
Must I go, Toffy? Toffy, must I go?
Sniggers: [Clutching him.]
Don't move.
Albert: [Going.]
Toffy, Toffy. [Exit.]
Voice:
Meestaire Jacob Smith, Able Seaman.
Sniggers:
I can't go, Toffy. I can't go. I can't do it.
[He goes.]
Voice:
Meestaire Arnold Everett Scott-Fortescue, late Esquire, Able Seaman.
The Toff:
I did not foresee it. [Exit.]
CURTAIN.
