Wedgecroft. No ... O'Connell kept things up before him. Well ... the woman was dying.
Horsham. Couldn't you have kept the true state of the case from Sir Fielding?
Wedgecroft. And been suspected of the malpractice myself if he'd found it out? ... which he would have done ... he's no fool. Well ... I thought of trying that....
Farrant. My dear Wedgecroft ... how grossly quixotic! You have a duty to yourself.
Horsham. [Rescuing the conversation from unpleasantness.] I'm afraid I feel that our position to-night is most irregular, Wedgecroft.
Wedgecroft. Still if you can make O'Connell see reason. And if you all can't.... [He frowns at the alternative.]
Cantelupe. Didn't you say she came to you first of all?
Wedgecroft. I met her one morning at Trebell's.
Farrant. Actually at Trebell's!
Wedgecroft. The day he came back from abroad.
