RANKIN (gallantly). So do I. LADY CICELY (delighted). Oh, that is so nice of you, Mr. Rankin. This is a delicious country! And the people seem so good! They have such nice faces! We had such a handsome Moor to carry our luggage up! And two perfect pets of Krooboys! Did you notice their faces, Howard? SIR HOWARD. I did; and I can confidently say, after a long experience of faces of the worst type looking at me from the dock, that I have never seen so entirely villainous a trio as that Moor and the two Krooboys, to whom you gave five dollars when they would have been perfectly satisfied with one. RANKIN (throwing up his hands). Five dollars! 'Tis easy to see you are not Scotch, my leddy. LADY CICELY. Oh, poor things, they must want it more than we do; and you know, Howard, that Mahometans never spend money in drink. RANKIN. Excuse me a moment, my leddy. I have a word in season to say to that same Moor. (He goes into the house.) LADY CICELY (walking about the garden, looking at the view and at the flowers). I think this is a perfectly heavenly place. Drinkwater returns from the house with a chair. DRINKWATER (placing the chair for Sir Howard). Awskink yr pawdn |
