PRIMROSE DEANE.

(Looking in) Come on, Theodore. I'm waiting for you.

THEODORE TRAVERS,

I know you are. You shall be rewarded anon. I've just got to talk a little business with Mr. Cherry (Puts his hand on Cherry's shoulder, and takes him towards door.) Come up to my study. We shan't be interrupted there.

It's so very kind of you.

THEODORE TRAVERS.

Not at all—not at all. (Aside.) Good material for a financial novel. (They go off.)

(Primrose and Nelly come in from garden.)

PRIMROSE DEANE.

Nelly! something very serious is going on here. Mr. Ben Dixon's been doing something that he oughtn't.
