Bamford. Then I'm not too late. (Sits again.)
Ste. You're the best man up to now.
Bamford. Well——
Ste. See here, Sam. It's like this. That girl can look high. Question is, are you high enough?
Bamford. Which way?
Ste. Money.
Bamford. Depends what you call high.
Ste. Yes... (half apologetically.) I've a right to know before I put it to her.
Bamford (after slight hesitation). Well, I'll tell you this: you know what my father left?
Ste. Yes.
