CRAWSHAW (complacently folding his hands). Go ahead.
RICHARD. Suppose a stranger came up in the street to you and said, "My poor man, here's five pounds for you," what would you do? Tell him to go to the devil, I suppose, wouldn't you?
CRAWSHAW (humorously). In more parliamentary language, perhaps, Richard. I should tell him I never took money from strangers.
RICHARD. Quite so; but that if it were ten thousand pounds, you would take it?
CRAWSHAW. I most certainly shouldn't.
RICHARD. But if he died and left it to you, then you would?
CRAWSHAW (blandly). Ah, I thought you were leading up to that. That, of course, is entirely different.
RICHARD. Why?
CRAWSHAW. Well—ah—wouldn't you take ten thousand pounds if it were left to you by a stranger?
RICHARD. I daresay I should. But I should like to know why it would seem different.
