FEJEVARY: (_irritated by what seems charily stated approval_) 'All right!' Well, I am not willing to let this man's name pass from our time. And it seems rather bitter that Silas Morton's granddaughter should be the one to stand in my way. MADELINE: Why, Uncle Felix, I'm not standing in your way. Of course I wouldn't do that. I--(_rather bashfully_) I love the Hill. I was thinking about it in jail. I got fuddled on direction in there, so I asked the woman who hung around which way was College Hill. 'Right through there', she said. A blank wall. I sat and looked through that wall--long time. (_she looks front, again looking through that blank wall_) It was all--kind of funny. Then later she came and told me you were out there, and I thought it was corking of you to come and tell them they couldn't put that over on College Hill. And I know Bakhshish will appreciate it too. I wonder where he went? FEJEVARY: Went? I fancy he won't go much of anywhere to-night. MADELINE: What do you mean? FEJEVARY: Why, he's held for this hearing, of course. MADELINE: You mean--you came and got just me--and left him there? FEJEVARY: Certainly. MADELINE: (_rising_) Then I'll have to go and get him! FEJEVARY: Madeline, don't be so absurd. You don't get people out of jail by stopping in and calling for them. MADELINE: But you got me. FEJEVARY: Because of years of influence. At that, it wasn't simple. Things of this nature are pretty serious nowadays. It was only your ignorance got you out. MADELINE: I do seem ignorant. While you were fixing it up for me, why didn't you arrange for him too? FEJEVARY: Because I am not in the business of getting foreign revolutionists out of jail. MADELINE: But he didn't do as much as I did. FEJEVARY: It isn't what he did. It's what he is. We don't want him here. MADELINE: Well, I guess I'm not for that! FEJEVARY: May I ask why you have appointed yourself guardian of these strangers? MADELINE: Perhaps because they are strangers. FEJEVARY: Well, they're the wrong kind of strangers. MADELINE: Is it true that the Hindu who was here last year is to be deported? Is America going to turn him over to the government he fought? FEJEVARY: I have an idea they will all be deported. I'm not so sorry this thing happened. It will get them into the courts--and I don't think they have money to fight. MADELINE: (_giving it clean and straight_) Gee, I think that's rotten! FEJEVARY: Quite likely your inelegance will not affect it one way or the other. MADELINE: (_she has taken her seat again, is thinking it out_) I'm twenty-one next Tuesday. Isn't it on my twenty-first birthday I get that money Grandfather Morton left me? FEJEVARY: What are you driving at? MADELINE: (_simply_) They can have my money. FEJEVARY: Are you crazy? What _are_ these people to you?
