Bartley Fallon: You are apt to be going there on the train, I suppose? It is well to be you, Mr. Halvey, having a good place in the town, and the price of your fare, and maybe six times the price of it, in your pocket.
Hyacinth Halvey: I didn't think of that. I wonder could I go—for one night only—and see what the lads are doing.
Shawn Early: Are you forgetting, Mr. Halvey, that you are to meet his Reverence on the platform that is coming home from drinking water at the Spa?
Hyacinth Halvey: So I can meet him, and get in the train after him getting out.
(Mrs. Broderick and Peter Tannian come in.)
Mrs. Broderick: Is that Mr. Halvey is in it? I was looking for you at the chapel as I passed, and the Angelus bell after ringing.
Hyacinth Halvey: Business I have here, ma'am. I was in dread I might not be here before the train.
Mrs. Broderick: So you might not, indeed. That nine o'clock train you can never trust it to be late.
Hyacinth Halvey: To meet Father Gregan I am come, and maybe to go on myself.
Mrs. Broderick: Sure, I knew well you would be in haste to be before Father Gregan, and we knowing what we know.
