Mrs. G. Oh, Captain Mafflin, I am so sorry! Jack, you bad, bad little
villain. Ahhh!
Capt. M. It's not the least consequence, I assure you. He'd treat the

Jack-in-de-box? (To G. ) What did he want to see you for?
Capt. G. Regimental shop as usual.
Mrs. G. The Regiment! Always the Regiment. On my word, I sometimes feel
jealous of Mafflin.
Capt. G. (Wearily. ) Poor old Jack?
