Lee Tai. [Coming forward coolly.] Good afternoon, Daisy.

Daisy. [Recovering herself.] It's lucky for you I'm in a good temper or I'd have you thrown out by the boys. What have you brought this junk for?

Lee Tai. A curio-dealer can come and go and no one wonders.

Amah. Lee Tai velly clever man.

Daisy. Give me that chain. [The Amah takes it out of her sleeve and gives it to her. Daisy flings it contemptuously at Lee Tai's feet.] Take it. Pack up your things and go. If you ever dare to show your face here again, I'll tell my husband.

Lee Tai. [With a chuckle.] What will you tell him? Don't you be a silly girl, Daisy.

Daisy. What do you want?

Lee Tai. [Coolly.] You.

Daisy. Don't you know that I loathe you? You disgust me.

Lee Tai. What do I care? Perhaps if you loved me I shouldn't want you. Your hatred is like a sharp and bitter sauce that tickles my appetite.
