Richly:

(Enter Mr. Andre)
Andre:

Roger:

(Low)
Here's a villainous loan shark who picks a fine time to come demand
his money.
Andre:
You know, Mr. Roger, I've been here everyday lately without finding
your master. If he cannot pay me today, tomorrow I will swear out a
warrant against him and you know it very well.
Roger: (aside)

Richly:
What's this all about?
Roger:

concerned about!
Andre:
A mere business of one hundred pounds owed to me for which I have a
receipt and a judgement which I intend to put into execution.
Richly:
What's he talking about, Roger?
Roger:
He's a fiend who will do just what he says.
Richly:
Edward owes you--?
Andre:
Yes, indeed, Mr. Edward Richly, a child whose father is off somewhere
and who will be pleasantly surprised on his return when he learns of
the life his son has led in his absence.
