LAURA. [Sinks back against the table; stares away from them, whispering.] To Grimes... two hundred thousand on Court deal! I see! I see! [Faces them, weakly.] And what... what do you mean to do?
MONTAGUE. I intend to wait until the decision has been announced, which will be tomorrow, and then to call a public meeting and present the evidence.
LAURA. [Starts to implore him; then controls herself.] Yes, yes... that is just. But then... see! It hasn't been done yet!
MONTAGUE. How do you mean?
LAURA. The decision hasn't come out. It could be stopped!
JACK. Why stop it?
LAURA. That would prevent the wrong! I would... oh, I see! You want to expose Grimes! You'd rather it happened!
JACK. The crime has already been committed.
LAURA. And you, Mr. Montague... you prefer it so?
MONTAGUE. I had never thought of any other possibility.
