SARAH [sitting placidly on the shell] If I am to be blown up, the more thoroughly it is done the better. Don't fuss, Cholly. LOMAX [to Undershaft, strongly remonstrant] Your own daughter, you know. UNDERSHAFT. So I see. [To Cusins] Well, my friend, may we expect you here at six tomorrow morning? CUSINS [firmly] Not on any account. I will see the whole establishment blown up with its own dynamite before I will get up at five. My hours are healthy, rational hours eleven to five. UNDERSHAFT. Come when you please: before a week you will come at six and stay until I turn you out for the sake of your health. [Calling] Bilton! [He turns to Lady Britomart, who rises]. My dear: let us leave these two young people to themselves for a moment. [Bilton comes from the shed]. I am going to take you through the gun cotton shed. BILTON [barring the way] You can't take anything explosive in here, Sir. LADY BRITOMART. What do you mean? Are you alluding to me? BILTON [unmoved] No, ma'am. Mr Undershaft has the other gentleman's matches in his pocket. LADY BRITOMART [abruptly] Oh! I beg your pardon. [She goes into the shed]. UNDERSHAFT. Quite right, Bilton, quite right: here you are. [He gives Bilton the box of matches]. Come, Stephen. Come, Charles. Bring Sarah. [He passes into the shed]. Bilton opens the box and deliberately drops the matches into the fire-bucket. LOMAX. Oh I say! [Bilton stolidly hands him the empty box]. Infernal nonsense! Pure scientific ignorance! [He goes in]. SARAH. Am I all right, Bilton? BILTON. You'll have to put on list slippers, miss: that's all. We've got em inside. [She goes in]. STEPHEN [very seriously to Cusins] Dolly, old fellow, think. Think before you decide. Do you feel that you are a sufficiently practical man? It is a huge undertaking, an enormous responsibility. All this mass of business will be Greek to you. CUSINS. Oh, I think it will be much less difficult than Greek. STEPHEN. Well, I just want to say this before I leave you to yourselves. Don't let anything I have said about right and wrong prejudice you against this great chance in life. I have satisfied myself that the business is one of the highest character and a credit to our country. [Emotionally] I am very proud of my father. I-- [Unable to proceed, he presses Cusins' hand and goes hastily into the shed, followed by Bilton]. Barbara and Cusins, left alone together, look at one another silently. CUSINS. Barbara: I am going to accept this offer. BARBARA. I thought you would. CUSINS. You understand, don't you, that I had to decide without consulting you. If I had thrown the burden of the choice on you, you would sooner or later have despised me for it. BARBARA. Yes: I did not want you to sell your soul for me any more than for this inheritance.
