(Turning to his chair) Don't know about that woman--she's a tantalizer. He compresses his lips, and is settling back into his chair, when the door from the hall is opened and his daughter MAUD comes in; a pretty girl, rather pale, with fine eyes. Though her face has a determined cast her manner at this moment is by no means decisive. She has a letter in her hand, and advances rather as if she were stalking her father, who, after a "Hallo, Maud!" has begun to read his paper. (MAUD: Father.) (Not lowering the paper) Well? I know that tone. What do you want--money? (MAUD: I always want money, of course; but--but--) (Pulling out a note-abstractedly) Here's five pounds for you. MAUD, advancing, takes it, then seems to find what she has come for more on her chest than ever.
