Sylvia. Oh, is that how you made your money—by being trusting?

Daniel. Certainly. I trusted other people to lose it and they did.

Sylvia. How d'you mean—lose it?

Daniel. Well, you see—look here, Sylvia, are you cross-examining me?

Sylvia. Nothing could be further from my thoughts, uncle dear, I only wondered, that's all.

Daniel. Well, tell me some more. Have you had any love affairs—girls always like to confide their love affairs.

Daniel. So I gathered—why, do you suppose?
