Daniel. If she's coming here I'll have to go, and may as well now.
Sarah (without). John Murray!
Daniel (retreating slowly to the workshop). I'm going to get that other coat you gave me. It's better than this one for seeing people in. (He goes into workshop as Sarah comes out into the kitchen. She is evidently displeased.)
Sarah. Hurry up, John. The company's waiting on you, and I don't know what's keeping you. Unless it was that brother of yours, more shame to him.
John. Aye. Daniel kept me. (Looking at her.) He's talking of leaving. You wouldn't have that, Sarah, would you?
Sarah (sharply). Leaving, is he? And a right good riddance say I. What has he done but ate up all your substance.
John (astonished). You wouldn't put him out, Sarah?
Sarah (snappishly). I just wouldn't have him about the place. An idle, good for nothing, useless, old pull a cork.
John. Do you not like him, Sarah? (Somewhat disapprovingly.) You told me you thought a good deal of him before.
