A Man
[sitting on the ground with others who have brought their provisions].
By coming early, one can eat in comfort.
A Burgher
[conducting his son].
Let us sit here, son.
A Card-Player.
Triple ace!
A Man
[taking a bottle from under his cloak, and also seating himself on the floor].
A tippler may well quaff his Burgundy [he drinks] in the Burgundy Hotel!
The Burgher
[to his son].
'Faith! A man might think he had fallen in a bad house here! [He points with his cane to the drunkard.] What with topers! [one of the fencers, in breaking off, jostles him] brawlers! [he stumbles into the midst of the card-players] gamblers!
The Guardsman
[behind him, still teasing the Flower-Girl].
Come, one kiss!
