Richard
[Lights and offers him a match.] There is a faith still stranger than the faith of the disciple in his master.
Robert
And that is?
Richard
The faith of a master in the disciple who will betray him.
Robert
The church lost a theologian in you, Richard. But I think you look too deeply into life. [He rises, pressing Richard's arm slightly.] Be gay. Life is not worth it.
Richard
[Without rising.] Are you going?
Robert
Must. [He turns and says in a friendly tone.] Then it is all arranged. We meet tonight at the vicechancellor's. I shall look in at about ten. So you can have an hour or so to yourselves first. You will wait till I come?
Richard
Good.
Robert
One more match and I am happy.
[Richard strikes another match, hands it to him and rises also. Archie comes in by the door on the left, followed by Beatrice.]
Robert
Congratulate me, Beatty. I have won over Richard.
Archie
[Crossing to the door on the right, calls.] Mamma, Miss Justice is going.
