MAYOR.
Help! help!
Wait till we are in Kinvara!
FIRST CRIPPLE.
[_Beating MAYOR on the legs with crutch. _]
I'll shake the royalty out of his legs!
SECOND CRIPPLE.
[_Burying his nails in MAYOR'S face. _]
I'll scrumble the ermine out of his skin!
[_The CHAMBERLAIN comes down steps shouting, '_Silence!
silence! silence! _'_
CHAMBERLAIN.
How dare you make this uproar at the doors,
Deafening the very greatest in the land,
As if the farmyards and the rookeries
Had all been emptied!
FIRST CRIPPLE.
It is the Chamberlain.
[_CRIPPLES go out. _
