Brodie. Brodie, sir, Brodie as you see.

Leslie. What does it mean? What does it mean, my God? Were you here before? Is this the second time? Are you a thief, man? are you a thief? Speak, speak, or I’ll kill you.

Brodie. I am a thief.

Leslie. And my friend, my own friend, and . . . Mary, Mary! . . . Deacon, Deacon, for God’s sake, no!

Brodie. God help me!

Leslie. ‘We Brodies! We Brodies!’

Brodie. Leslie—

Leslie. Stand off! Don’t touch me! You’re a thief!

Brodie. Leslie, Leslie

Leslie. A thief’s sister! Why are you here? why are you here? Tell me! Why do you not speak? Man, I know you of old. Are you Brodie, and have nothing to say?
