For the mule, for his horse and that of his servant, for the harness and pistols, and to pay a little something he owes at the hotel, he asks altogether two hundred pistoles, Sir. Arg. Two hundred pistoles? Sca. Yes. Arg. (walking about angrily). No, no; we will go to law. Sca. Recollect what you are doing. Arg. I shall go to law. Sca. Don't go and expose yourself to.... Arg.
