MARY ROSE (liking this way of putting it). Yes, he has. It is all Simon’s fault.
MR. MORLAND. But you said you were afraid even of me.
MARY ROSE. You are the only one.
MR. MORLAND. Is this some game? Where is Simon?
MARY ROSE (in little mouthfuls). He is at the foot of the tree. He is not coming up by the tree. He wants to come in by the door. That shows how important it is.
MR. MORLAND. What is?
MARY ROSE. You see, his leave is up to-morrow, and he—wants to see you, Daddy, before he goes.
MR. MORLAND. I am sure he does. And I know why. I told you, Fanny. Mary Rose, do you see my purse lying about?
MARY ROSE. Your purse, Dad?
MR. MORLAND. Yes, you gosling. There is a fiver in it, and that is what Master Simon wants to see me about.
