They won't be over-punctual; there's only the Centry selling. There's young Mrs. Hornblower with the other boy-- (Pointing) over at the entrance. I've got that chap I told you of down from town. (MRS. H: Ah! make sure quite of her, Dawker. Any mistake would be fatal.) (Nodding) That's right, ma'am. Lot of peopled--always spare time to watch an auction--ever remark that? The Duke's agent's here; shouldn't be surprised if he chipped in. (MRS. H: Where did you leave my husband?) With Miss Jill, in the courtyard. He's coming to you. In case I miss him; tell him when I reach his limit to blow his nose if he wants me to go on; when he blows it a second time, I'll stop for good. Hope we shan't get to that. Old Hornblower doesn't throw his money away.
