MUSKERRY
I wasn't given any notice of that.
ALBERT
Eh, Tournour--
"The Devil went out for a ramble at night,
Through Garrisowen Union to see every sight.
He saw Felix Tournour--"
TOURNOUR
"He saw one in comfort, of that you'll be sure.
With his back to the fire stands Felix Tournour,"
_He puts his back to fire_.
ALBERT
Well, so-long, gents. _(He goes out by shop door)_
MUSKERRY
Let me see you, Tournour.
TOURNOUR
I'm plain to be seen.
MUSKERRY
Who recommended you for Ward-master?
TOURNOUR
Them that had the power.
MUSKERRY
I would not have done it, Tournour.
TOURNOUR
No. And still, d'ye see, I'm up and not down. Well, I'll be
going.
MUSKERRY
Come back here, Tournour. I made it a rule that no
Ward-master should let drink be brought in to the paupers.
TOURNOUR
It's a pity you're not Master still!
MUSKERRY
What are you saying?
TOURNOUR
It's a pity that you're not still the Master over us.
MUSKERRY
Tournour, you're forgetting yourself.
TOURNOUR
Well, maybe you are still the Master.
MUSKERRY
How dare you speak to me with such effrontery? How dare you?
TOURNOUR
I dunno. I'm going away now, if your _honour_ has nothing
more to say to me. _(He turns to go)_
MUSKERRY
You shall not. You shall not, I say.
TOURNOUR
What?
MUSKERRY
You shall not go away until you've apologised to me.
