GEORGIANA.

NOAH.

One 'ud a done. It's only confusin'--hall doin' it! Money matters right or wrong?

[_GEORGIANA puts her handkerchief to her eyes._

SIR TRISTRAM.

NOAH.

You will push yourselves forrard. Had he anything on his mind?

GEORGIANA.

NOAH.

A the'ry that will put you all out o' suspense!

GEORGIANA _and_ SIR TRISTRAM.

Yes, yes!

NOAH.

I've been a good bit about, I read a deal, and I'm a shrewd experienced man. I should say this is nothin' but a hordinary case of sooicide.

[_GEORGIANA sits faintly._
