Daisy. [Frightened.] I was beside myself. I don't know what I was doing.
Harry. [With sudden suspicion.] Are you trying to shield her?
Daisy. Of course not. Why on earth should I do that?
Harry. I suppose you look on it as a matter of no importance that she tried to kill me.
Daisy. Oh, Harry, how can you say anything so cruel? Why should she try and kill you?
Harry. I don't know. How do you expect me to guess what is at the back of a Chinese brain? She's hated me always.
Amah. You no love me velly much.
Harry. I've put up with her just because she was attached to you. I knew she was a liar and a thief. It was a trap and I escaped by a miracle. Only, George has got to suffer for it.
Daisy. Harry, you're nervous and excited.
Harry. What are you defending her for?
