(They all make a movement of annoyance.)
Sylvia. Now then, uncle, we've discovered that you have been deceiving us....
Daniel (amazed). I—deceive you? I'm pained! I'm hurt! You've wounded me to the quick.
Bobbie. I don't believe you've got a quick.
Sylvia. Shut up, Bobbie!
(Faith is by window L.)
Sylvia. Yes, through the agency of Miss Crombie here.
Daniel. Ah, Miss Crombie, I've just been chatting to your mother. (Goes to table and puts glass on it.)
Sylvia (ignoring his interruption.) Your dastardly trick has been exposed, is it or is it not true that you took each of us aside in turn a year and a half ago and filled us up with confidential lies about your will?
Daniel (bravely). It's absolutely true.
