Mr. Murray, the tone you’re good enough to adopt deserves some special recognition. But you’ve always, I understand, been very kind to Leslie, and I don’t choose to dispute with one of her friends on her wedding morning.

Hugh Murray.

You can’t dispute with me because there is no question of truth between us!

Dunstan Renshaw.

Oh, as to my past, which you are pleased to wax mightily moral about, well—I have taken the world as I found it——

Hugh Murray.

You chant the litany of these who rifle and wrong! You have simply taken the world’s evil as you found it! I warn you!

Dunstan Renshaw.

And I warn you that you’ll do badly as a lawyer. Try the pulpit.

Hugh Murray.
