lord goring. No, no; there is no one there.
sir robert chiltern. There is some one. There are lights in the room, and the door is ajar. Some one has been listening to every secret of my life. Arthur, what does this mean?
lord goring. Robert, you are excited, unnerved. I tell you there is no one in that room. Sit down, Robert.
sir robert chiltern. Do you give me your word that there is no one there?
lord goring. Yes.
sir robert chiltern. Your word of honour? [Sits down.]
lord goring. Yes.
sir robert chiltern. [Rises.] Arthur, let me see for myself.
lord goring. No, no.
