Paul. Won’t you have a cigar?
Unknown (smiling ironically). A cigar? And when am I to have the money?
Paul. Very soon now.
Unknown. Which do you mean by that—now? or very soon?
Paul. Soon; quite soon.
Unknown. You’ll pay it soon? (Looks intently at Paul.) And supposing I don’t believe you?
Paul. How can you help believing, when the document is in your hands?
Unknown. That’s just it! The date in the document is up; and all this is not yours, but your wife’s.
Paul. That’s all the same.
Unknown. No; not all the same.
