ALLEN. Maybe I will.
HANN. (c.) See here! I’ve lived among a set that like to wipe off a score, no matter what the price. You put that man into my hands so that justice may be done on him, and we share the old man’s money between us. (Crosses R.)
ALLEN. Is that a bargain?
PURT. You don’t suspect—(goes to r.of l. table.)
ALLEN. (Crosses to Purt. Hann. goes R.) Yes I do. He’s been no friend of mine. Is it a bargain?
HANN. Yes. Without Dan Cassidy my case might be hard to prove. With him it would be easy. £100,000 and my revenge are good enough for me. You give me that. (Goes to extreme R.)
(Enter Dexter from door c. He draws back on seeing strangers, and stands r.c.)
DEX. Beg pardon, my dear boy. Found the door open (Allen goes up c. to Dex.) and took the liberty of an old friend to walk in. Thought I should find you alone.
ALLEN. (Crosses up c.) Shall be in a minute, Colonel, if you will excuse me. (Draws the two men together near fireplace, Allen nearest, Purt. next, Hann. r.) Can thee play billiards?
HANN. I can, but I don’t crave for them at this particular moment.
