Hamilton (taking the warrant, and speaking to the Officer): Perhaps you could keep this till to-morrow afternoon?

The Officer: If Mr. Hamilton asks me to.

Hamilton: You may bring it to my house.

The Officer: Certainly, sir.

[He goes.]

Hamilton: Robert, you’re a fool.

Burns: I believe you, Mr. Hamilton.

Hamilton: But I’m not going to see you destroyed by men of that tonnage. We must consider.

Burns: I had a fancy, but there’s no time now.

Hamilton: What was it?
