Roger:
This doesn't look too good.
Andre:
The son is a gambler, a spendthrift, and a wencher, while they say the
father is a villain, a miser, and a tightass.
Richly:
What do you intend to say to this miser and tightass?
Andre:
I don't want to talk to you, I want to speak to the father of Mr.
Edward Richly who is in two words an imbecile and a fool.
Richly:
Roger--
Roger:
He's telling you the truth, sir. Mr. Edward does owe him--
Richly:
And you told me of his exemplary conduct.
Roger:
Yes, sir. It's a result of his careful management that he owes this
money.
Richly:
What--borrow money from a loan shark.
(To Mr. Andre)
I see by looking at you, sir, that you're in the right line.
Andre:
Yes, sir, and I believe that you are also in the same profession.
Roger: (aside)
How easily honest men recognize each other.
Richly:
You dare to say this is the result of his superior management!
Roger:
Peace! Don't say a word. When you know the bottom of this thing you
will be enchanted. He has bought a house--a mansion for ten thousand
pounds--
Richly:
A house for ten thousand?
Roger:
And easily worth fifteen.
