RUTH (to Guy). What did it matter what I said? I've saved your life. I've kept him here.
GUY. How did you get him here?
RUTH. I sent for him.
GUY. Why should he come for your sending?
MARTIN. You don't question your wife before a workman, do you?
GUY. No. You're right. This can wait.
RUTH. Guy, I sent because last night I heard him threaten you. I wanted to persuade him——
GUY. Your methods of persuasion are peculiar.
RUTH. They kept him here. That was what I had to do. At any cost to keep him here.
GUY. Ruth, I begin to think that reading Byron isn't good for you.
