Mr. Talon, 'pon me honour, as punctual as a creditor. Port? Madeira or Port, Mr. Talon? Quin, Mr. Talon will drink Madeira. [Quin pours out the Madeira. Quin takes his master's wig, beturbans him, brings rose-water for his hands, cosmetics for his face. Quin is everywhere. Quin does everything. It is magical. Mr. Talon, you look black at me. [Mr. Talon, seated, warmed with his wine, takes many red-taped papers from his bag and a quill from a case. (PANTALOON: A goose quill.) One of your own plucking? (PANTALOON: Often too appropriate for the signing of such documents.) This the settlement? Small house... strip of woodland... rentals of farm... two hundred a year! Is that all?
