I don't, indeed. Unless—unless you've discovered the—the means by which you were induced to come to me yesterday. But, after all, there's no great harm done.

Mr. Wackerbath.

[Bursting with rage.] No great harm! You can stand there and tell me that!

Horace.

[Calmly.] Certainly. If you prefer to go to some other architect, you're perfectly free to do so.

Mr. Wackerbath.

[Frantically.] Free! Free!! When the damned house is built!

Horace and Pringle.

[Together, each starting back.] Built?

Mr. Wackerbath.
