an excerpt from the beginning of the play:
(The curtain rises on a room in an inn. Sniggers and Bill are talking, the Toff is reading a paper. Albert sits a little apart.)
Sniggers: What's his idea, I wonder?
Bill: I don't know.
Sniggers: And how much longer will he keep us here?
Bill: We've been here three days.
Sniggers: And 'aven't seen a soul.
Bill: And a pretty penny it cost us when he rented the pub.
Sniggers: 'Ow long did 'e rent the pub for?
Bill: You never know with him.
Sniggers: It's lonely enough.
Bill: 'Ow long did you rent the pub for, Toffy?

Sniggers: 'E's such a toff.
Bill: Yet 'e's clever, no mistake.
