LATIMER. And as I have already said, you can’t do moral indignation from that chair. Remember what happened to you last time.

LEONARD. Perfectly outrageous. (He drinks.)

[119]LATIMER. Have another cigar?

LEONARD. I shall go to bed as soon as I have drunk this. (He drinks.)

LATIMER. You wouldn’t care for a game of billiards first?

LEONARD. I am not in the mood for billiards.

LATIMER. By the way, we have another runaway couple here. But their week of probation is just over. They expect to leave to-morrow.

LEONARD. I am not interested in your earlier crimes.

LATIMER. I think you would be interested in this couple, Leonard.

LEONARD. I assure you I am not.
