HEGAN. Some of them, my dear.
LAURA. That is, the leaders of Tammany.
HEGAN. Possibly... yes.
LAURA. And Mr. Grimes... he gets some of it?
HEGAN. Why, my dear...
LAURA. Tell me!
HEGAN. But really, Laura, I never asked him what he gets.
LAURA. [With intensity.] Father, you must understand me! I will not be trifled with... I am in desperate earnest! I am determined to get to the bottom of this thing! I am no longer a child, and you must not try to deceive me! Mr. Grimes must get some of that money!
HEGAN. I think it possible, my dear.
LAURA. And do you get any?
