McCOMAS (flatteringly). If I did---

BOHUN (interrupting him). If you did, you would be me, instead of
being what you are.

McCOMAS (fawning on him). Of course, Bohun, your specialty---

BOHUN (again interrupting him). My specialty is being right when
other people are wrong. If you agreed with me I should be of no use
here. (He nods at him to drive the point home; then turns suddenly and
forcibly on Crampton.) Now you, Mr. Crampton: what point in this
business have you most at heart?

CRAMPTON (beginning slowly). I wish to put all considerations of
self aside in this matter---

BOHUN (interrupting him). So do we all, Mr. Crampton. (To Mrs.
Clandon.) Y o u wish to put self aside, Mrs. Clandon?

MRS. CLANDON. Yes: I am not consulting my own feelings in being
here.

BOHUN. So do you, Miss Clandon?

GLORIA. Yes.

BOHUN. I thought so. We all do.

VALENTINE. Except me. My aims are selfish.
