I don't like these bloody reprisals. There's no end, once we begin.

Benjamin

The decision is yours, sir.

Davis

I reserve my decision. I'll give it to you presently. I want a word with General Lee—first—if you will give me this room.

Benjamin

Certainly, we'll retire until you're ready. This way.

[Benjamin conducts Vaughan and Ould into the room right—opposite the door through which Jacquess and Gilmore made their exit.—The Doorman enters and announces.]

The Doorman

General Lee!
