LAURA. You are not through with him yet, then?
HEGAN. No, Laura...
LAURA. Well, even so! Mr. Grimes must wait until I have said what I have to say to you.
HEGAN. What is it, Laura?
LAURA. You are expecting the decision of the Court of Appeals on the Grand Avenue Railroad case at noon today.
HEGAN. Why, yes...
LAURA. The decision will be in your favor. And you and Grimes are planning to gamble on it, and to make a great deal of money.
HEGAN. Yes, my dear.
LAURA. And you paid Grimes two hundred thousand dollars to fix the decision of the Court.
HEGAN. [Starting violently.] Laura!
