DAVID. You can take it or leave it.
ALICK. No great sum for a student studying for the ministry!
JOHN. Do you think that with that amount of money I would stop short at being a minister?
DAVID. That’s how I like to hear you speak. A young Scotsman of your ability let loose upon the world with L300, what could he not do? It’s almost appalling to think of; especially if he went among the English.
JOHN. What do you think, Miss Maggie?
MAGGIE [who is knitting]. I have no thoughts on the subject either way.
JOHN [after looking her over]. What’s her age? She looks young, but they say it’s the curls that does it.
DAVID [rather happily]. She’s one of those women who are eternally young.
JOHN. I can’t take that for an answer.
DAVID. She’s twenty-five.
