Phil. (glances at it and returns it) How does it concern me?

Sir P. It concerns her, doesn’t it?

Phil. Of course.

Sir P. And she being your half-sister, it concerns you.

Phil. Miss Derwent, my half-sister! What do you mean?

Sir P. That Philip Selwyn and Philip Derwent were one and the same person.

Phil. Sir Peter!

Sir P. Of that I have no proof, except your father’s word.

Phil. My father’s word?

Sir P. Given to me on his death-bed. Do you doubt his word? Do you doubt mine?
