Rodney. What are you going to do?

Martin. Send for Miss Grayson.

Rodney. You shan’t humiliate her.

Johnson. (Entering from door upper L.) Yes, sir?

Martin. Ask Miss Grayson to come here at once.

Johnson. Yes, sir. (He exits)

Martin. I’ll tell that scheming secretary that if you persist in this marriage, I’ll disinherit you! Then watch her throw you over.

Rodney. Even if you are my father, you shan’t insult the girl I love.

Martin. Poppycock! You’re afraid to put her to the test: you’re afraid she will chuck you.

Rodney. (Quickly) I am not afraid.
