MAMSON [slowly]. Let us clearly understand one another. I am to lend you my name--just my name--and you are to do all the rest. BISHOP [quickly]. Oh yes: I'd _rather_ you kept out of the business negotiations! MANSON. It is rather a dangerous name to play with! BISHOP, I take that responsibility entirely upon myself! MANSON.

MANSON. Hereafter, then. [Enter AUNTIE and VICAR by door to right.] |
