VICKEY (indignantly). It's father's stock, not yours.
WILLIE. That's so. But if I'm to come into a thing I like to know what I'm coming into.
ALICE. That's never Willie Mossop.
VICKEY (still by door). Are you coming into this?
(WILL enters L. MAGGIE follows him. He is not aggressive, but he is prosperous and has self-confidence. Against ALICE and VICKEY he is consciously on his mettle.)
WILLIE. That's the proposal, isn't it?
VICKEY (C.). I didn't know it was.
WILLIE. Now, then, Maggie, go and bring your father down and be sharp. I'm busy at my shop, so what they are at his.
(MAGGIE takes WILL'S hat off and puts it on settee, then exits up R.)
It's been a good business in its day, too, has Hobson's.
