(Unconscious) Will you take a letter for me? MAUD sits down Left of table and prepares to take down the letter. (Dictating) "Dear Mr Mayor,--Referring to your call this morning, I have --er--given the matter very careful consideration, and though somewhat reluctant--" (MAUD: Are you really reluctant, father?) Go on--"To assume greater responsibilities, I feel it my duty to come forward in accordance with your wish. The--er--honour is one of which I hardly feel myself worthy, but you may rest assured--" (MAUD: Worthy. But you do, you know.) Look here! Are you trying to get a rise out of me?--because you won't succeed this morning.
