Lying worm and a cad! And from Miss Lily Margaret Upjohn! To Cooling. Done anything about it?
Cooling.
No; waited for you. Going on with his arrangements at the tables. You’re responsible. What I did last night was simply to oblige a pal.
Roper.
Irresolutely. I’d better run round to her, and try to smooth her down, hadn’t I?
Cooling.
Perhaps you had. Placing a card. Mr. Stewart Heneage. To Roper. Why you wanted to mislead the girl I can’t understand.
Roper.
Damn it, you agreed that that sulky brute Jeyes ’ud be a wet blanket! You blow hot and cold, you do!
Cooling.
