Leslie. Mr. Lawson, I am perfectly satisfied with Brodie’s word; I will wait gladly.
Lawson. I have nothing to say against that.
Brodie (behind Lawson). Nor for it.
Lawson. For it? for it, William? Ye’re perfectly richt there. (To Leslie.) Just you do what William tells you; ye canna do better than that.
Mary. Dear uncle, I see you are vexed; but Will and I are perfectly agreed on the best course. Walter and I are young. Oh, we can wait; we can trust each other.
Brodie (from behind). Leslie, do you think it safe to keep this strong-box in your room?
Leslie. It does not trouble me.
Brodie. I would not. ’Tis close to the window.
Leslie. It’s on the right side of it.
Brodie. I give you my advice: I would not.
