FIDDLER (giving up).

Well, It don't signify, I can pick a quarrel with him another time.

PIPER (to Fiddler).

Since the gentleman desires it, sir, I shall let you alone for this time; but damn you, sir, if you say a word against my country again, I'll make you a man of no country at all. (They take up their instruments, and go to different sides of the stage, still making signs of defiance to one another.)

WORSHIPTON (going to the window).

Are you there, my charming love?

HANNAH.

Yes, I have been here some time.

WORSHIPTON.

I could not come sooner.—Remember your promise; and in the mean time what music shall they play?

HANNAH.

Just let them play a concert.

WORSHIPTON.

A concert.—Well, gentlemen, you are desired to play a concert.
