edward. I went through all the papers twice. I wanted to make quite sure.
mr. voysey. Sure of what? I told you to come to me.
edward. [he is very near crying.] Oh, father.
mr. voysey. Now look here, Edward, I'm going to ring and dispose of these letters. Please pull yourself together. [He pushes the little button on his table.]
edward. I didn't leave my rooms all day yesterday.
mr. voysey. A pleasant Sunday! You must learn whatever the business may be to leave it behind you at the Office. Why, life's not worth living else.
peacey comes in to find mr. voysey before the fire ostentatiously warming and rubbing his hands.
Oh, there isn't much else, Peacey. Tell Simmons that if he satisfies you about the details of this lease it'll be all right. Make a note for me of Mr. Grainger's address at Mentone. I shall have several letters to dictate to Atkinson. I'll whistle for him.
peacey. Mr. Burnett . . Burnett v Marks had just come in, Mr. Edward.
edward. [without turning.] It's only fresh instructions. Will you take them?
