father’s agreement, we can hope for nothing from my mother. Goodbye—I am afraid she’s coming right behind me.

      (Exit Olivia and Lettice. Lettice and Scratch make exaggerated bows to each other.)

      Gerald

      What should I do now, Scratch?

      Scratch

      What crazy logic made the old mercenary amorous at the age of seventy-four? Without a doubt, that’s why he sent us to Oxford. But, we’ve got to prevent him from marrying. And that’s done only with money—and then, we’ll cut him out of the game. Look at the old gallowsbird: he needs girls of eighteen to cheer him up! He isn’t completely disgusting—he digests it well—he just needs a refill.

      Gerald

      But, what to do, Scratch?

      Scratch

      Try to speak to her alone—and that will resolve all your affairs. She will give you—many possible ways.

      Gerald

      Come, I am going to write a letter that you will deliver to Lettice when they come home.

      Scratch

      But, I ought to go to your father’s house.

      Gerald

      I want you to deliver my letter before going there.
