KATE. You know he wouldn't. Martin found out some way and told for
him.

LAURA. Martin's a beast.

KATE. Maybe he was right. They all but told me to take Ted back and
keep him with me.

LAURA. And you will, I suppose? [KATE _is silent._] I'm sorry.

KATE. I don't mind your question.

LAURA. There's nothing else you can do, really.

KATE. Yes. There's one thing. There's another man.

LAURA. Are you serious?

KATE. _He_ is. Serious, and rich, and--sixty.

LAURA. That beastly old man!

KATE. Every time he said "I'm an old man" I'd say, "Oh, no, Mr.
Selden" till I convinced him.

LAURA. So what, Kate?

KATE. So he thinks he wants me for myself alone. He isn't the least
bit vicarious.
