Rodney. No!

Peale. No, but I hate to say it.

Bronson. But if you control the company, why not settle matters now?

Rodney. Why not, Mary?

Peale. Yes, why not, Mary?

Mary. Hadn’t we better discuss the matter a little more fully first among ourselves?

Bronson. Perhaps I could wait somewhere for a few minutes while you talk things over?

Mary. (Opening door left) Yes, do, please—in the library.

Bronson. I am very glad to have met you.
