Rh PS undefined (It! what?)

PS undefined (Why, about me and Towzer!)

PS undefined (Towzer? what! Soosan's husband!)

PS undefined (Hush! he's here—in the house—you'll not betray me?)

PS undefined (Not I! Oh, you good-for-nothing Don Juan you! By the bye, between you and me, a few lessons in the rudiments of English Grammar wouldn't do Soosan any harm! (a loud at door ))

PS undefined (Hush! What's that?)

PS undefined ((without) Open the door!)

PS undefined (Towzer's voice! (to Grim.) Where shall I go? put me somewhere—Ah! (rushes into closet, and closes door after him.))

PS undefined (He's shut himself up in the closet—he'll be suffocated to a certainty.)

PS undefined ((banging at, and in a loud voice) Open the door, I say, or I'll split it into ten thousand pieces!)

PS undefined ((shouting) Don't be absurd—call again to-morrow! I've just gone out!)

PS undefined ((without, and thumping again at door) Open the door, I say!)

PS undefined ((shouting) I'm coming! I'd better let Towzer in—I'll soon get rid of him! (opens door ))

PS undefined (Now, sir, your name, if you please!)

PS undefined (Peter.)

PS undefined (Pshaw!)

PS undefined (No, not Shaw—Grimshaw!)

PS undefined (That's near it, but not quite the thing! Suppose we say Bradshaw, eh?)

PS undefined (Well, say Bradshaw, or Clapshaw, or Scrimshaw if you prefer it; but nevertheless, it's Grimshaw!)

PS undefined (I know better, and so do you—my name's Towzer—you hear, Sir? Towzer—and now, Sir!)

PS undefined (Towzer and Nowzer?)

PS undefined (Pshaw! where is she?)

PS undefined (She! (aside) I see it all—he's come after Mrs. Towzer, and takes me for my facetious young friend there, in the closet. Ha. ha, ha!)
