HARVEY: The money? Since when do dogs carry money? Ha, ha! That's a good joke. A very good joke. (Exits at R. 2.)
MAYNARD: (Re-enters from house.) And now to see if I can't make friends with the dog.
(FELIX barks furiously at MAYNARD as soon as he comes near.)
MAYNARD: He is just the animal to keep Viola's lover away. I will call her out, and show her the dog. (Calls off to house.) Oh, Viola! (Dog snaps at MAYNARD as latter passes him.)
VIOLA: (From the doorstep of house.) What do you want, father?
MAYNARD: I want to show you the new dog I bought. (Dog barks furiously.) See if you can make friends with him.
(VIOLA approaches FELIX, who leans his head affectionately against her and puts his arm around her waist.)
VIOLA: He seems to like me all right, father.
MAYNARD: I cannot understand it.
VIOLA: Perhaps he doesn't like men.
