HAMILTON

Reynolds.
Women are the deuce for tangling up a man's finances.
Giles.
You know all about it, don't you?
Reynolds.
Yes, I know a good deal about women. I'm married, you know.
Giles.
Yes, I know.
Reynolds.
I know a good deal about men, too. Now Mrs. Hamilton is away, been away a long time in England. Now, what do you say
Giles.
[Turning away.] I don't want any advice from you. Besides, as you know so much, you know that Hamilton hardly ever leaves his house.
Reynolds.
Makes it all the easier. Send the woman to the house.
Giles.
[Looking in front of him.] What the devil do you mean?
Reynolds.
It's a matter of choosing the right woman and the
right moment. [Puts down pipe and leans forward.] You've seen Mrs. Reynolds, haven't you?
