Why not? Had to be somewhere. Didn’t want him Archbishop of Canterbury, did you? (FANNY: Did he believe it?) Shouldn’t have told him had there been any fear that he wouldn’t. (FANNY: I see. Any other swell relations of mine knocking about?) One—a judge of the Supreme Court in Ohio. Same name, anyhow, O’Gorman. Thought I’d make him a cousin of yours. I’ve always remembered him. Met him when I was over there in ninety-eight—damn him! A silence. FANNY (she rises). Well, nothing else for it! Got to tell him it was all a pack of lies. Not blaming you, old boy—my fault. Didn’t know he was going to ask any questions, or I’d have told him myself. Bit of bad luck, that’s all.
