CARVE. I--I---- CYRUS. When were you last paid? CARVE. The day before yesterday. CYRUS. (Taking a note and gold from his pocket-book and pocket.) Here's seven pounds--a month's wages in lieu of notice. It's rather more than a month's wages, but I can't do sums in my head just now. (Holding out money.) CARVE. But listen---- CYRUS. (Commandingly.) Take it. (CARVE obeys.) Pack up and be out of this house within an hour. CARVE. I---- CYRUS. I shall not argue.... Did your master keep his private papers and so on in England or somewhere on the Continent--what bank? CARVE. What bank? He didn't keep them in any bank. CYRUS. Where did he keep them then? CARVE. He kept them himself. |
