Self. “A scheme.”
Major Osman. “What scheme?”
Self. “A scheme to divide up England at the end of the war. A scheme for the abolition of England! Go away! You are bothering me.”
(More whispering at the door.)
Major Osman. “Why do you want to do that?”
Self. “Because the English hate us.”
Major Osman. “Your father is English. Does he hate you?”
Self. “Yes. He has not written to me for a long time. He puts poison in my parcels. He is in league with Major Baylay. It is all Major Baylay’s doing.”
