Put that in your pipe and smoke it, my boy. BENTLEY. _[inarticulate with fury and suppressed tears]_ Oh! Beasts! Brutes! MRS TARLETON. Now dont hurt his feelings, poor little lamb! LORD SUMMERHAYS. _[very sternly]_ Bentley: you are not behaving well. You had better leave us until you have recovered yourself. _Bentley goes out in disgrace, but gets no further than half way to the pavilion door, when, with a wild sob, he throws himself on the floor and begins to yell._ MRS TARLETON. | _[running to him]_ Oh, poor child, | poor child! Dont cry, duckie: | he didnt mean it: dont cry. | LORD SUMMERHAYS| Stop that infernal noise, sir: do you | hear? Stop it instantly. | JOHNNY. | Thats the game he tried on me. | There you are! Now, mother! |
