Torrington You, yes, you. You paid me the honor of a visit in my home. But I made it worth your while, for I paid you sixty thousand pounds sterling.

McNaughten
Wait a minute. What did you say?

Torrington
You're trying to make some joke.

McNaughten
This is no laughing matter, I assure you. In fact, I am getting upset.
Isn't your name Torrington?

Torrington
It certainly is.

McNaughten
And are you not a solicitor?

Torrington
I am—and an honest man to boot.

McNaughten Oh, that's something else again. Don't you have sixty thousand pounds inheritance for me?

Torrington
I did—but no longer.

McNaughten
Why not?
