Jennie. Never fear for that. You'll look at him. He's layin' for yououtside. An' that, Miss Dorothy, is why--I was a-wavin' at him an'sayin' "pst" to him. I wanted to warn him, mum, of his danger, mum,because Hicks is somewhat vi'lent, and he told me in so many words as howhe was a-goin' to _do--him--up_.

Barlow. You'd better inform Mr. Hicks, Jennie, that Mr. Yardsley isalready done up.

Yardsley. Do me up, eh? Well, I like that. I'm not afraid of anycoachman in creation as long as he's off the box. I'll go look at him atonce.

Dorothy. No--no--no. Don't, Mr. Yardsley; don't, I beg of you. Idon't want to have any scene between you.

Yardsley (heroically). What if he succeeds? I don't care. AsBarlow says, I'm done up as it is. I don't want to live after this.What's the use. Everything's lost.

Barlow (dryly). Jennie hasn't thrown you over yet.
