THE NOTE TAKER [promptly] Hoxton.

Titterings. Popular interest in the note taker's
performance increases.

THE SARCASTIC ONE [amazed] Well, who said I didn't? Bly me! You
know everything, you do.

THE FLOWER GIRL [still nursing her sense of injury] Ain't no call
to meddle with me, he ain't.

THE BYSTANDER [to her] Of course he ain't. Don't you stand it
from him. [To the note taker] See here: what call have you to
know about people what never offered to meddle with you? Where's
your warrant?

SEVERAL BYSTANDERS [encouraged by this seeming point of law] Yes:
where's your warrant?

THE FLOWER GIRL. Let him say what he likes. I don't want to have
no truck with him.

THE BYSTANDER. You take us for dirt under your feet, don't you?
Catch you taking liberties with a gentleman!

THE SARCASTIC BYSTANDER. Yes: tell HIM where he come from if you
want to go fortune-telling.

THE NOTE TAKER. Cheltenham, Harrow, Cambridge, and India.
