Carter (closer). You told me you were taken in my uncle's home.
Gordon. I ran there to escape. They followed me—they came in after me. I had no chance.
Carter. And in that time you got into George's clothes for a disguise. (slowly) I don't believe you.
Gordon. What do you mean?
Carter. I mean that I'm a fool. And that you are the best and bravest friend a man ever had in the world. At first I did believe you, though I did not understand. And now I see too clearly why you lied to me. (slowly) you gave yourself up to the enemy so they would send you here with me. Your plan was made before—not afterwards. You gave your life into their hands to save me (he comes slowly forward) I am not worth it. Oh, I am not worth your life.
[He takes his hand.
Gordon. Pray God; its not in vain.
Carter. You did this thing for me and for the information to give Morgan?
Gordon (slowly). Yes.
