Cashier. Interpreter, where have you been all this time?
Percy. All what time?
Cashier. I told you to stay here.
Percy. Well, I—I—I just stepped out—because—I heard someone crying for help—in Spanish!
Cashier. You stepped out so quickly that you turned your hat all the way around!
Percy. Yes—yes.
Cashier. Well, are you going to fix it? (Percy does so) Sit down. (Percy sits down) Now stay right here. There’s a Frenchman here who doesn’t understand a word of English. He has sent for a police officer. I don’t know what he wants.
Percy. Neither do I.
Chanoine-Malherbe. (Outside) Apportez-moi du vin. Garçon, garçon!
Percy. Listen to it! Whew!
