WADSWORTH
Sir, you have lost the charter; that is clear.
ANDROS
Where is it?
WADSWORTH
Just a minute. You have lost it. You also have given us your receipt for it; therefore you should have it.
ANDROS
And I intend to have it.
WADSWORTH
You can't. I can assure you of that, but here is what I propose. The committee is willing to turn over the receipt to you if you will stop this foolish and destructive search for something you can't find.
