I guess he'd been just as rich as him to-day.
Georgiana. And still you won't help Steve?
Coast. T'ain't business. [He puts back his chair and leans toward Georgiana, hand on table.] If helping him, mind you, would get you, I might take it on. [Humorously.] I'd pay even the price of Steve to buy you.
Georgiana. [Taking the false nose and putting it on.] Well, I'm not for sale. [Rises.] But I would like to dispose of Steven.
Coast. Go on, please take that blame thing off.
[Follows Georgiana across the room to the Left.
Georgiana. No, I like it! You must understand this about my brother. [Taking off the nose.] He is the dearest, best fellow in the world! kind-hearted and wouldn't do a thing that wasn't straightforward in business.
Coast. But you've got to be tricky if you want
to succeed in our business. I don't mind telling you right out between us, I'm tricky!
Georgiana. I'm sorry to hear it.
