Pemberton--ey? Gad, it's the best thing I ever knew. Saved a good bit,

JOHN.--Owe for it, you mean. I don't think your tradesmen profit much by

K.--By Jove! I'll do for you, you villain!

JOHN.--No, not that way, Captain. [Struggles with and throws him.]

garden.]

Enter BULKELEY.

BULKELEY.--What is it, sir?

K.--Take this confounded villain off me, and pitch him into the
Thames--do you hear?

JOHN.--Come here, and I'll break every bone in your hulking body. [To
BULKELEY.]

BULKELEY.--YOU be quiet. What's he a-hittin' about my master for?
