Mr. Magnus! (Recovering himself, with dignity) I will tender my resignation tomorrow, sir.
MAGNUS
Why?
VANILLITY (bitterly)
Don’t trifle with a broken man, sir. My university is in your debt. The Judge is your mouthpiece. What you tell him to ask, my university will not dare to refuse!
MAGNUS
I will tell the Judge nothing!
VANILLITY (gasping)
I—I—what, sir?
MAGNUS
