Daniel. I refuse to discuss the matter any further in public. (He goes off across to tea.)

Mackenzie (going over to John and looking at him knowingly). Do you know what it is, Mr. Murray? Your brother's nothing short of an impostor.

John (much offended). Don't dare to say that of a Murray.

Mackenzie (shrugging his shoulders). Well, I'm going for some tea. (Exit.)

Sarah. John, I've something to say to you again about Daniel, but the company's waiting. (She goes out to the tea room.)

John (sitting down moodily). Aye.

Mary. Are you not coming, father?

John. Aye.

Mary. Father! Surely you aren't going to marry that woman?

John. Don't talk of Sarah that ways. I am!
