(JOHN deals.)

PAMELA. I must say I think it is very good of you, Mr. Tully.

TULLY. Beg pardon, Mrs. Ayers.

PAMELA. I say it’s very good of you to come and sit with John as you do.

TULLY. Oh, not at all, Mrs. Ayers. It’s a pleasure. John’s one of the best, in the world.

JOHN (quickly). No, that’s not your card. (Picking up one of TULLY’S cards and looking at it.) Oh, yes it is. (Putting card down again.)

TULLY. But he’s a dirty cheat.

JOHN. Heaven helps those who help themselves.

TULLY. No, John, we’re here to help others.
