You?
Captain Montgomerie.
Yes.
Lady Frederick.
Oh, God.
Captain Montgomerie.
Come, come, don't be worried over it. There's nothing to be alarmed about. I'm a very decent chap—if you'd accepted me right away you would never have known that those bills were in my possession. Think it over once more. I'm sure we should get on well together. I can give you what you most need, money and the liberty to fling it away as recklessly as you choose; you can give me the assured and fixed position on which—my father's heart was set.
Lady Frederick.
And if I don't accept, you'll make me a bankrupt and you'll ruin Gerald?
Captain Montgomerie.
