Coast. I don't say you'd get back all, in one deal, but a good start which might turn your luck.
Steven. It's always like that; I've known such cases over and over again. But I've never yet broken my word to Georgiana,—somehow or other I feel as if I did that once I wouldn't have any hold over myself.
Coast. I don't suppose you could get at her securities anyway this afternoon?
Steven. Oh, yes, I could. We have our deposit box together.
Coast. Don't you think she'd forgive you when it means such a lot to Louise and her mother?
Steven. Why shouldn't she?
Coast. Why don't you risk it? That promise was just to keep you from losing, and this time I'll see you don't lose—so why not?
Steven. By George, I will! Georgiana really can't blame me when there's so much at stake.
Coast. Can you get the stuff to-day?
Steven. [Looks at his watch.] Yes, if I hurry.
