Charlie Ward. Faith, you haven't far to go to find one. Paddy there will give you over his wife quick enough; he won't make a hard bargain over her.
Paul Ruttledge. But I am in earnest. I want to cut myself off from my old life.
Charlie Ward. Oh! I was forgetting that.
Sabina Silver. [To Molly.] I wonder what was it he did? I wonder had he the misfortune to kill anybody?
Charlie Ward. [Calling Sabina over.] Here's a girl should make a good wife, Sabina Silver her name is. Her father is just dead; he didn't treat her over well.
Sabina Silver. [Coming over.] What is it?
Charlie Ward. This gentleman wants to speak to you. I think he's looking out for a wife.
Sabina Silver. [Hanging her head.] Don't be humbugging me.
Paul Ruttledge. Indeed he's not, Sabina.
Sabina Silver. You're only joking a poor girl. Sure, what would make you think of me at all?
