Lee Tai. Otherwise perhaps I should have hesitated. It was clever of you to find so convenient a place. With a curio shop in front into which anyone can be seen going without remark and an ill-lit passage leading to this court, it is perfect.
Daisy. What is the idea?
Lee Tai. [With a twinkle in his eyes.] Are you a little frightened?
Daisy. Not a bit. What can you do? You can tell Harry. Tell him.
Lee Tai. [Affably.] George Conway would be ruined.
Daisy. [With a shrug.] He'd lose his job. Perhaps you would give him another. You're mixed up in so many concerns you could surely find use for a white man who speaks Chinese as well as George does.
Lee Tai. I find even your shamelessness attractive.
Daisy. I'm profoundly grateful for the compliment.
Lee Tai. But do not fear. I shall do nothing. I bought this house because I like you to know that always, always you are in my hand. Where you go, I go. Where you are, I am. Sometimes you do not see me, but nevertheless I am close. I do nothing. I am content to wait.
Daisy. Your time is your own. I have no objection to your wasting it.
