Bel. Good morning. Do you take me for a man that can be easily imposed on? No; can’t humbug me!
Fle. What do you mean? (coldly) I’m delighted to see you.
Bel. This explains the promptitude with which I was admitted.
Fle. (satirically) By-the-bye, you have come most opportunely. I have to thank you for persuading me to confide an important character to Miss Constance Belmour—that was a grand idea of yours.
Bel. Capital, was it not?
Fle. (satirically) I was charmed with her at rehearsal just now. Luckily I can undo what is done. I mean to take the part away from her.
Bel. A brilliant idea that, I must confess, and any one but me would let you follow your bent.
Fle. What do you say?
Bel. It is useless to disguise matters. I know all. Can’t humbug me.
Fle. What do you know?
