Moselle. One of the boys.
Silas (aside). Thought so. (Aloud.) Well, how can I help you free brother Dick?
Moselle. By inducing daddy to find the money.
Silas. Oh! Dick's in a scrape?
Moselle. Yes; and twenty thousand dollars will set him free. Daddy has it.
Silas (aside). So daddy's a big bonanza, as well as a bigamist.
Moselle. You see, Dick's accused of forgery; but he's innocent. A detective has secured him, and will take him back to-day, unless the money is found to reimburse the bank with what Richard Fairlee is supposed to have defrauded it.
Silas. Richard Fairlee? I've heard that name before.
Moselle. Alice Fairlee's brother.
