Walter. It's an important part of my business to visit my parishioners, Mr. Verity.
Ste. Humph! Our turn for your parochial attentions soon comes round again. You were here a week ago.
Walter. On my own business that time, sir.
Ste. What is it this time?
Walter. You're sure I'm not interrupting you?
Ste. I'm sure you are. Go on.
Walter. I've come to put you on your guard. You led me to suppose, and I in turn told Mr. Vining, that the town authorities were proposing to buy the Polygon.
Ste. And aren't they?
Walter. As an Alderman you ought to know that better than I do.
Ste. Never mind what I know. The question is, what do you know?
