Martin. Well, you’ll keep him at it? (Rises and goes R.)
Mary. That wasn’t our agreement. I only undertook to get him to start to work.
Martin. Hum.
Mary. (Quickly) Isn’t that true?
Martin. Quite—quite. I was just thinking we might make some new agreement to have you keep him on the job.
Mary. (Rubbing her fingers as if handling money) I’m a business woman.
Martin. What strikes you as fair?
Mary. I’d rather the proposition came from you.
Martin. What do you say to your present salary, and at the end of the year I will personally give you a check for twenty-five per cent of what Rodney has made.
Mary. Oh, that wouldn’t interest me at all.
