[Scratching his forehead]
It’s the limit!
GIANT
[With his hand to his ear] What?
DWARF
I say seven years is the limit.
[The clock in the tower strikes one.]
GIANT
What’s that?
DWARF
Oh, that’s Dickery Dock. He is a perfect nuisance. I wish he would let that old clock alone. Personally I dislike him.
[Just as the Giant starts to go out of the gate, the Dwarf puts his hat on the ground in front of the Giant.]
