Old Morton. I am in a dream! But the world--my friends--my patrons--how can I explain?

Starbottle. I will--er--explain. (Advancing slowly to front--to audience.) One moment--er--a single moment! If anything that has--er--transpired this evening--might seem to you, ladies and gentlemen--er--morally or--er--legally--or honorably to require--er--apology--or--er--explanation--permit me to say--that I--Col. Culpepper Starbottle, hold myself responsible--er--personally responsible.

Capper. Concho.

Old Morton. Sandy. Miss Mary. Don Jose. Jovita. Oakhurst.
