From Waste: A Tragedy, In Four Acts by Harley Granville-Barker

Well, you see... Percival I can't do without. Now that Blackborough knows of his objections to the finance he'd go to him and take Chisholm and offer to back them up. I know he would... he didn't take Farrant away with him for nothing. (Then he flashes out rather shrilly.) It's Trebell's own fault. He ought not to have committed himself definitely to any scheme until he was safely in office. I warned him about Percival... I warned him not to be explicit. One cannot work with men who will make up their minds prematurely. No, I shall not change my mind. I shall write to him. He goes firmly to his writing desk leaving CANTELUPE forlorn. (CANTELUPE: What about a messenger?) Not at this time of night. I'll post it.
